Yesterday morning the lovely Moira McLaughlin over at Dog Art Today emailed me announcing a sweet little giveaway she is doing.

Simon and Schuster graciously gave Moira two copies of their new book:  ’Chicken Soup for the Soul: Loving Our dogs’, and Moira is in turn graciously giving them away to two of her lucky blog followers.

To enter to win:  go to the Dog Art Today blog, and simply complete this sentence in the comments section:

“My dog is chicken soup for the soul because…”

And tell Moira I sent you! :-)

Good luck!

Vote for Cowbelly as ‘best Western Washington pet photographer’ in Evening Magazine’s annual contest!

September 22, 2008 – 6:58 pm

I just managed to stumble upon this fun little contest that Washington’s Evening Magazine TV show holds every year titled: “Best of Western Washington”. I had no idea I was being included in the running for ‘best pet photographer’ in Western Washington! I believe this is the first year they have included pet photography, and I have no idea how they chose the entrants. Hey- maybe I am on there because Fergie and I were on the show in March for the CityDog Magazine dog art/photography show. She did her cute little tail-chasing thing on camera, which would make anyone want to enter us into a contest really, hee hee.

If you like me please take a brief moment out of your busy schedule to go vote for me.

It’s ok if you don’t- I’ll just cry myself to sleep every night for the rest of the year. Or quit and move to Tahiti to carve pipes on the beach. Kidding! If you REALLY like me you will tell all of your friends about the contest and they will vote for me too. Shameless I am, yes I know. Shameless and proud.

If you have worked with me in the past, feel free to write a comment as well and let everyone know that I photographed your dog or designed art for you! FYI: you can still vote if you don’t comment!

Thanks so much in advance! :-)

More new dog images tomorrow! And then more after that. (and more after that….. and more after that…..)

Slice of Life: South Lake Union: we have a winner!

June 16, 2008 – 4:53 pm

Remember the recent contest on my old blog: slice of life?

Well guess what? We have a winner!! Paul from Seattle was the first person to accurately guess that the image above represents the up-and-coming South Lake Union neighborhood so he wins a free mini-shoot at SLU/Cascade for his bassett hound puppy Daisy, who ironically Fergie and I met at a barbeque on Saturday! I can’t wait to do the shoot for Daisy, she is adorable. Along with his free shoot, Paul also wins a free one-year subscription to CityDog Magazine! (score!)

Let’s all congratulate Paul on having some really good super sleuthing abilities!

For those who just hopped on board, the image slice represents editorial photography I did for CityDog Magazine for the ‘Dog’s Eye View’ neighborhood feature article in the summer issue, which is on newsstands now so go check it out. BTW: South Lake Union is really an awesome place for dogs and makes for a great 1/2 day trip to explore all of the dog-friendly parks and stores and pretty hidden spots. I have already read the article all about places to go and things to do with your pooch and I have to say it’s a must-read.

sneak-peek + contest

May 21, 2008 – 1:24 am

Since I can’t show the editorial photography I have done recently for CityDog Magazine until the summer mag actually comes out, I decided to provide a sneak peek of sorts at the shots I have taken for the ‘Dog’s Eye View’ article for the summer 2008 issue.

I am calling this photographic art piece ’slice of life’.

(I dig this piece so much I am getting it printed as a wide canvas for my bedroom wall. I’ll be making more of these in the future for sure!) You will need to maximize your browser window. Having issues with blogger’s image uploading- hopefully can fix it later so you can view the image larger in a new window. 

 

This photographic art image is also a contest! 

The first person to accurately guess which Seattle neighborhood this is wins a mini-shoot with me for their dog(s) in the very same neighborhood the shots were taken in!! (note: shoot is good for up to 2 dogs and must take place in either June or July of 2008. Prints are not included). 

The ALSO win a year subscription to CityDog Magazine! 

Woohoo!! 

Here is how to enter the contest: leave a comment in the comments section of this post (click on where it says ‘# of comments’), with your guess of neighborhoods, or send me an email to info@cowbelly.com, and the first person to accurately guess wins! Also, PLEASE email me if you leave your guess anonymously as a comment, and/or if you don’t have a link back to your blog/website in your commenting name. 

The neighborhood may seem impossible to guess but there are a few slices that are dead giveaways. 

Good luck and have fun!! 

Jamie

PawsWalk + City Dog cover model search

September 7, 2007 – 7:05 pm

 

 

 

 

 

For those who live in the Seattle area, I want to remind you that PawsWalk is this Saturday from 9am-1pm at Magnusun Park on Lake Washington. It’s a chance to bring your pooch, hang out with other great dog owners, and help raise money to support one of the region’s finest animal rescue organizations. See the PAWS site for more info: http://www.paws.org/

At PawsWalk this weekend City Dog Magazine will be looking for their next cover dog to grace the cover of their Winter 2008 issue. Normally the photography for these events is done by my lovely friend J. Nichole Smith of Dane & Dane photography (who shot the winning dog Jessie on the left), but Nichole is out of town this weekend so I will be filling in for her and shooting each of the pooches that comes and signs up to have a shot at winning the cover. I am really looking forward to this fun event and can’t wait to meet all of the people and their fabulous dogs. And I promise to capture each of them in their best light. :-)

Be forewarned that there are only 25 spaces available, so get there when they open at 9am if you’d like your dog to have a shot at winning the cover!
