what goes on at a scruffy dog photo shoot …

we all have a pretty miserable time …

… and then we check your teeth.

just had to add the next two … i’m still sorting through Oxford’s shoot from Sunday … these may not even be the best shots from this group.  they just happen to be the first three …

have a great tuesday, everyone.  i’m off to meet another four wagging clients this afternoon … hoping that the weather gods don’t conspire against us.

the most beautiful thing i’ve seen in a long time

i just have to share a video by fellow dog photographer Anja Zaharanski from Germany.  it is easily the most visually beautiful piece i’ve seen in as long as i can remember … touching me so deeply i seriously almost wept.  it captures the essence of all the shared walks and hikes, the connection you share with your dog when out in the elements, the bond and the magic.

with so many clients and so many photos, i haven’t taken any time to teach myself video editing.  this magical piece by Anja reminds me of how much I need to get some video of my girl Matea while she still possesses some of her vibrancy and power.  this is the kind of artwork i can only dream of, one day, making of my girl.

enjoy …

and if the embedded video stutters or acts funky, you can go watch it on youtube or on Anja’s dogscanbark website.

  • pet casketsOh, that’s a very beautiful pet video.. it made me cried too..ReplyCancel

  • TamaraI cried. Made my heart ache for my dog. It’s beautiful.ReplyCancel

  • SweetpeaOh yes, THANK YOU for this lovely reminder…I need to do this, too, a video…something live, while my sweet girl still lives on this earth. That vid was so lovely – please tell your friend how much it was enjoyed!ReplyCancel

  • andreai absolutely loved this!! thank you for sharing! 🙂ReplyCancel

  • jennifer metzgerReally lovely. I take loads of video but have no idea how to do anything artistic like this. Ultimately, when Blue is gone, I won’t care if it is artisitic or not. Learned this the hard way with my first dog and don’t plan on making the same mistake again. Videos show stuff photos just can’t capture – can vice versa. This is really great, thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • RogerThat … was … beautiful.ReplyCancel

  • LindaJust beautiful. I was truly overwhelmed watching it.ReplyCancel

  • Rachelwow! amazing, so so beautiful. I’ve done some video work in the past. I need to do more…ReplyCancel

  • marlesghillieJust lovely… I really miss my walks with Ghillie. The endless curiosity of dogs and their ‘living for the moment’ outlook always makes you realise what life is actually for.ReplyCancel

  • MargaretBeautiful dog! Beautiful video!ReplyCancel

  • Poochie FreakSaw your link on facebook. Wow that is beautiful, thanks for sharing. A reminder for me to video the dogs in the woods this afternoon too 🙂
