My wife and I have two children... there is Zach, our almost 1 year old, and Abby, our almost 11 year old black lab.
Abby has been through a lot this year and just recently had surgery. She has been acting strange ever since then and we dont know why. Even the vet is at a loss, although he has some ideas that we are going to try.
My venture into photography involved Abby 99% of the time. When I worked from home for IBM, I would take every opportunity I could to photographer her. She got so tired of the flash, that she would run as soon as she spotted the camera. I learned to work fast and to try different ways to light so she wouldnt be upset or leave the room. It was practical training, in a sense. It got me ready for paying gigs outside of the house, photographing our ever moving son, and where I am today shooting portraits, weddings and events.
After I left IBM, the photographs of Abby diminished and they really became scarce
when Zach was born and my photography business started taking off. So, here we are at Abby being almost 11 years old and I cant stop thinking that she doenst have 11 years of life left. I really want to start shooting her in ways that show my style and her personality (as big as that personality of her's is!!). Here is the first of those portraits that I hope everyone will enjoy. They were all shot with my 3 light '
Strobist' studio.
