We’re on facebook + this little blog is rated G!

December 26, 2008 – 3:37 pm

If you like facebook as much as we do you’ll want to connect with us on the super addictive site. Please note this is our (Fergie and my) personal page, so you will get more personal information, see photos not posted on the blog, and get inside info on what’s going on in our lives. I try to keep our facebook page pg13, but admittedly have a bit of a truck driver mouth (shocking I know given the lack of colorful language on this blog- trust me when I say I have to work hard to keep it clean!), so just be forewarned that it might not be best for little kids! :-)

Note of interest: our little Cowbelly blog is rated G, so it’s approved for all ages, yay!

fergie + snow = luv

December 23, 2008 – 5:39 pm

*Finally* went down to the studio to pick up my camera to go out and photograph the Fergs. Even though it was late in the afternoon and past the good light, it had to be done. Words can’t express how much Fergie loves the snow. I’m looking forward to getting my new Lumix point and shoot (soon, very soon!) so I can post more photos of her while we are out without having to get the big camera all ready and lug it around. In my hood walking around with a fancy Canon 5D hanging around your neck is pretty much asking for it, lol.

Coolest dog sweater ever. Hand knit by a South American tribe and purchased at Lucky Dog Outfitters in Tacoma. 

Will post more pictures of the fergs in snow once I’m done with my holiday client work. I’m not off the hook yet! :-)

more low-key black and white dog photographs

December 21, 2008 – 7:14 am

Some of you may remember the first post I did on low-key black and white shots back in September. It has been awhile since I designed any low-key images, so I decided to pull some shots from recent shoots to see how they fared with the processing. Some were naturals, some took more effort. All done in LR2. 

these shots of Addy were practically begging to be converted to low-key b-w.

Apollo as a blond. Love these. 

I have every confidence that Fergie could hold her own in doggie prison. Or human prison for that matter. In my neighborhood late at night there are some interesting and shady characters, and one night while we were out walking a very drunk woman came swaying toward us, spotted Fergie and then immediately cut us a wide swath in the sidewalk, veering as far away from the dog as possible. She was laughing heartily and said “WHOAHH. NO ONE would want to mess with you with THAT dog, huh huh huh”, laughing all the way. I laughed too because I found the whole thing so funny. I see this photo below and think “Yep, I think she is right”. :-)

This will be an ongoing series, so expect even more low-key images after this! If you have any requests to see a specific shot in low-key let me know and I’ll be happy to try.
