Eva the Brittany Spaniel – April to June 2018

Eva’s project for the second quarter of 2018 was pretty low key.  A photo of her dog bling, Handing out in the kitchen, riding the paddle board and catching some zzz’s while either consolidating or making memories.  She does lead a good life.

Eva the Brittany Spaniel – January to March 2018

Eva’s Project – November & December 2017.

Hard to believe that 2017 is now over, and the weather that we had to end the year was chilly to say the understated least.  This also marks the last post of Eva the Brittany Spaniel’s monthly 2017 photography project. This November photo was a tribute shot, based on a lovely photo by Stefanie Timmermann. Continue reading “Eva’s Project – November & December 2017.”

Agnes’ project – May and June 2017

Agnes is the newest member of our house, and certainly is the wild card in the mix.  She came to us from We All Need A Rescue (WANAR) K9 rescue in Saskatoon.  At first she was very timid and preferred spending time with Bruno and Eva to us humans.  That didn’t last long.  Now sheContinue reading “Agnes’ project – May and June 2017”

Eva’s Project – March & April 2017

March and April was mainly set in the kitchen and dog park for Eva’s project.

In 2013 I borrowed a Playmobil character from one of my children’s sets for part of a photo project with Kael.  This little test shot in 2013 was a random stroke of good luck as I really like how it all came together, with the details of the photographer and the light on the kitchenContinue reading “the playmobil photographer”
