I distinctly remember taking this image. This gentleman was holding his dog on his lap and taking photos of other dogs at the same time. His dog was wiggling around and snuggling closer as if to say, “Hey, photograph ME…..not those other dogs!” I had taken several images when I noticed that now the man wasn’t focusing on other dogs, but he was photographing me photographing him! I saw him the next day and he said he laughed when he saw that image while reviewing his shots from the show! Photographers and dog people are the best!!

I was having fun on a cold, sunny, snow-flurrying day in Jim Thorpe, Pa. with the Lensbaby fisheye optic. Catching my shadow in the image was an unexpected surprise!

A good New Year’s resolution is to spend more time with our furry friends. It’s often easy to get caught up with things to be done while our pets sit and wait patiently for us to play with them, go for a walk, etc. They don’t understand why we need to go to work, run errands and clean. They just know that they want to be with us. I am so sad when I read about pets that are brought to shelters because their owners have no time for them. They need to know that they are loved and wanted. Give your pet a hug this first day of the new year and go spend some time playing with him/her! The football games and parties can wait…..
