These are great! I especially love the fuzzy nose as well!

Terran - January 20, 2012 - 21:29

The giant nose is just too much! I laughed out loud!

tiffany haulton - January 20, 2012 - 20:40

GREAT shots! Love the nose one too.

Kelly Ladouceur - January 20, 2012 - 20:32

My favourite shot is the blurred nose with the crisply focused feet. AWESOME!

Stephanie Madeline - January 20, 2012 - 18:54

The third shot is my favorite, the dog looks like a celebrity.

Sharon Stokes - January 20, 2012 - 17:10

Fantastic images Scott.

Judy - January 20, 2012 - 16:39

Love the second one from the bottom. Reminds me of Elliott Erwitt’s work.

Kaylee Greer - January 20, 2012 - 14:33

AWESOME job!! I cant tell you how much I love the blurry nose shot. It cracks me up. My favorite kind of photos are ones that draw and immediate emotional reaction – and that second photo does it for me. I giggled. Amazing stuff!

what fun shots! I love that first series – it makes me want to lay down with him and roll in the grass : )-

Project 52 for 2012! Oakley {1/52}

Welcome to 2012! I hope the holidays were happy and festive for all!

We are back at it again for another 52 week project! To start the new year and new 52 weeks of fun, we were tasked to introduce our own pets to the world!

It should be obvious that I love Australian Cattle Dogs (ACD’s). My business is named Aussie Dog Photography because of that fact (and as a tribute to my Cattle Dog, Jake who passed away in 2003). I always perk up and smile whenever I see a cattle dog walking his owners, in the back of a pickup, working livestock or on TV… Yeah, I am an ACD junkie

This past summer I retired from the US Air Force and decided I finally have time to have another Cattle dog in my life. Over the last 2 years I frequently visited the Texas Cattle Dog Rescue website; to see those cute dogs needing homes and forever wanting adopt one. I was about 2 months out from my actual retirement date and was just relaxing at my desk, (taking a much needed coffee break), and for some reason the “Great powers that be” pinged me with inspiration to get on my computer and visit the Texas Cattledog website.

The VERY FIRST listing I came across was an adorable 9 year old deaf girl, (who was also going blind) named Oakley. When I read that she’d been abused, had special needs and wanted a good and loving home, I knew it was destiny and I immediately responded to her ad.

I wanted to adopt an older dog, especially one with special needs, because I knew I could make her few remaining years on this earth her best ones! So that very next Saturday without a second thought I headed to Bastrop Texas to meet her at her foster family’s home. When Oakley came out to meet me, she walked right up to me and licked me on the cheek!

Love at first site!

Right then and there I knew we were meant to be companions and I adopted her on the spot!

Below is the photo of us heading home on the day I adopted her

She was very shy and reserved for the first few weeks as she got used to her new surroundings. I am sure she didn’t have a clue what she got her self into

But every day since she came into my life, the Cattle Dog spirit in her comes out and shines!

So here she is…happy, healthy and pampered to the “Nth” degree!

ONE Happy Dog (with one truly blessed Human!!!)

She is the new mascot of Aussie Dog Photography and believe me, you will be seeing a lot more of her from here on!

YAY!

She really does look so happy in her photos! Such a beautiful girl.

Kelly Ladouceur - January 6, 2012 - 20:21

Oakley is one pretty girlie . . . and what a great story about how she came into your life (and obviously took it over!)

Terran - January 6, 2012 - 11:27

Oakley is ADORABLE! You can tell from your photos what a happy, wonderful life she has with you. Cattle Dogs RULE!

Ann Kearns - January 6, 2012 - 11:17

Oakley is a lucky girl. Loved hearing the story (and that photo of her in the water is beautiful). Happy New Year!

Project 52 {41/52} | Breaking the Rules

Good morning!

This week’s topic was breaking the rules!

When I was on a job shooting this particular crafty feline, we were taking a much needed water break and before I knew what was happening, Tigger walked right over and stole the straw right outta my glass!

It was a hoot!

Now please take some time to check out the great folks at Photo Lab!

Project 52 {40/52} | Water

Well we made it to another Friday and this weeks topic was water.

Luckily I live near the Guadalupe river and Oakley and I are frequent visitors to the Guadalupe State Park. Once we get to our favorite picnic spot and set up our chair and dog food, we head straight to the river for a little wading action. So here’s my girl taking a leisurely wade in the river.

Thanks for the smile.

Project 52 {38/52} | Primary Colors

Happy (Black) Friday!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Well as you can see, instead of facing San Antonio traffic, crowded stores, and 1.5 million psycho shoppers…I have chosen to stay safe and sane in my office to enjoy this day (and to recover from my “Turkey-induced tryptophan coma”).

So this week’s topic is “Primary Colors”.

When I saw this topic posted on our forum I was totally stoked because I knew right away what I wanted to do…an Andy Warhol-like mural!

THis is one of those that I have seen done by many people and it always made me smile… I just love the pop art feel!

So now I had a REASON to sit down and produce an awesome piece of wall art for myself! YAY!

Of course Oakley was the subject for this project and she gave me the perfect pose…tongue out and charming as always

So here is my tribute to Warhol, Primary Colors and Modern Art!

Enjoy!

After you have finished “Ooooohing and Aaaaaahing” over my masterpiece, please take a ride on our blog-ring and visit Ann Kearns‘s blog to see her interpretation of this weeks topic!
