I finally was able to go to a dog show this weekend and take some photos. What a great feeling to see my friends again – both 2 legged and 4 legged! It’s been a long time and thankfully my elbow held up throughout the day. This photo is from the Hunterdon Hills Kennel Club show in Ringoes, NJ. What a sweet moment in the ring between dog and handler! I’ll post more photos from the show all this week!

I need some dogs to photograph!

I haven’t been to a dog show since mid-April due to what I call ‘photography elbow’. My doctor diagnosed it as ‘tennis elbow’, but the pain was actually caused by lugging around my big camera and zoom lens and straining my arm. Back in March/April I was extremely busy and photographed at events every weekend for 8-10 hours per day. My elbow finally gave out and the pain prevented me from lifting my camera or anything with even a little bit of weight. I wasn’t even able to pick up a 1/2 gallon jug of water. After a few months of R&R, my arm is much better and I’m hoping to be back at the shows later this month or in August. I miss all of my dog show friends and will see you all soon!

As I look through my images from the last show I attended in Harrisburg, Pa., I keep coming back to this one. It’s my favorite kind of image. One that shows the relationship between dog and person. I love that the handler is smiling and the dog is looking up at her with a sweet expression. Also, I’m guessing that her pendant is connected circles, but for some reason I am seeing an abstract of the word “dog”.
