Eva’s Project – May & June 2017

Eva’s project in May and June saw a random collection of mainly spontaneous photos.  Sad to admit that there was no master plan here, just taking photos for the fun of it. She is however a lovely dog and always ready to do photos with me The Catcher Her first photo of May “the catcher”Continue reading “Eva’s Project – May & June 2017”

Bruno’s Project – June 2017

June saw the serious start of cabin season, which is Bruno’s favorite season by far.  It also saw a visit form a land shark, the muffin man, the lazy Canuck and a flying retriever. Little Land Shark Week 22’s photo “little land shark” was him playing with Agnes on the deck of the cabin, blurringContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – June 2017”

Bruno’s Project – May 2017

May was a relaxed month for Bruno’s project with no action shots to be had. Week 18 was the first group portrait for the three pups, and it surprisingly turned out better than anticipated.  I got it on only the 83rd attempt (not exaggerating).  Treats are a good motivating force in our house. Dave: OkayContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – May 2017”

Eva’s Project – March & April 2017

March and April was mainly set in the kitchen and dog park for Eva’s project. This “can’t stop won’t stop” photo made use of a coffee mug bought for dog portraits then adapted to every day use in our house.  The mug really does match her personality.  Please note, no coffee was consumed during thisContinue reading “Eva’s Project – March & April 2017”

Meet Agnes

In April we added another puppy to our home.  Agnes is a mixed breed puppy who was looking for a home from “We All Need A Rescue” in Saskatoon.  She came to us timid and afraid of people, but started immediately bonding with our pups.  Within a few days she warmed up to us humansContinue reading “Meet Agnes”

Bruno’s Project – April

Running in the park, Easter, and a new puppy in the house.  Easter was a good month. Week 14 was a simple photo of Bruno living the good life, with his coat flowing in the breeze as he runs in the park. ———- Week 15 was Easter, and a long anticipated appearance from “the EasterContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – April”

Bruno’s Project – March

March saw the continuation of winter, Bat-Bru (his amazing Batman impersonation), shoving his nose in a “namast’ay in bed” mug, and warm paws.  This guy is a good model. Winter Boots Week 9 was a trip to the park for Julia and Bruno that ended in a drag through the snow.  Julia was more thanContinue reading “Bruno’s Project – March”

Bruno’s project – February 2017

Bruno’s project in February saw  winter weather, school drop off, a valentine’s photo and an in absentia vacation photo. A Little Closer For Week 5 “a little closer” I took him to the frozen pond and this is what he came up with.  Worked out so much better than what I was trying to frameContinue reading “Bruno’s project – February 2017”

Bruno’s project – January 2017 – Leaving his Scarf on

2017 is a new year, and time to start a new 52 week dog photo project.  This will be my fifth year doing a weekly dog photo project, and I must admit it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find photos that I haven’t done before.  So, there may be repeats in 2017, but hopefully not tooContinue reading “Bruno’s project – January 2017 – Leaving his Scarf on”

Bruno’s project – November & December 2016

It’s hard to believe that Bruno’s 12 month project is over for 2016.  From jumping in the yard like a dolphin to all the fun of the Christmas season.  But, lots more of him to come as he moves into a weekly project in 2017. Dolphin Jumping His first November project photo “dolphin jumping” wasContinue reading “Bruno’s project – November & December 2016”

Eva’s project – December. Christmas and the end of the project

The end of December say a finish to Eva’s 52 week project.  And thanks to how the weeks lined up, an extra week was added to make it 53 weeks in total. This month saw temptation over garlic sausage, cold weather and Christmas.   It’s been another fun project to do with her and I’ve reallyContinue reading “Eva’s project – December. Christmas and the end of the project”

Eva’s project – November

Eva’s project in November saw a bit of a warm November transition into the Christmas season.  It saw a revisit of the “She’s Crazy” shots, off lead in the park, her sniffer, and some cuddles and cocoa. She’s Still Crazy Week 45 “she’s still crazy” was a revisit from Kael’s project in 2013 when EvaContinue reading “Eva’s project – November”

Eva’s project – October

Eva’s project was quite varied in October.  From hanging out under a bridge to finding her published in the Flydogs book and then a trip for me to Rome.  It was a busy time. The Bird Code Week 40 “the bird code” was taken under the Idylwylde bridge. This summer Saskatoon commissioned local born artistContinue reading “Eva’s project – October”

Bruno’s project – September & October

September and October were relatively lean months in Bruno’s project.  A total of three images to show, all of which were from diverse geographical locations.  Bounding out of the lake, kitchen window guard dogs and sitting on a column in Rome. With Great Gusto His September photo “with great gusto” shows what happens when he boundsContinue reading “Bruno’s project – September & October”

Eva’s project – September

September is done, and saw the transition towards fall.  It also saw four more photos in Eva’s weekly project, including one of an “open can standoff”, the doggy version of a Mexican Standoff. Hood Ornament Week 36 “hood ornament” was the final dock photo of the season.  It was a chilly September long weekend andContinue reading “Eva’s project – September”

Bruno’s project – July & August – Go Jump in a Lake

Much of the summer months in Bruno’s project appear to have happened at Emma lake.  It was a good summer.  Lets just say that when someone tells him to “go jump in a lake”, he takes them very literally. Some People Just Look Good in Hats His first July photo “some people just look goodContinue reading “Bruno’s project – July & August – Go Jump in a Lake”

Eva’s project – August

Eva’s project is now well over half way done.  August has been another good month here, although it did end a little colder than expected. Eva’s August saw both paddle boarding and ice cream, and no one could ever complain about that. Under Broadway Week 32 “under broadway” is just me hanging out with EvaContinue reading “Eva’s project – August”

Portraits of Stitch – a senior Boston terrier

Stitch is an 11 year old Boston terrier belonging to Serena, one of my friends at work.  He had a bit of a health bump earlier this year, so Serena asked me to do a photo session with him.  I was happy to oblige.  He is a great pup – super handsome and well behaved.Continue reading “Portraits of Stitch – a senior Boston terrier”

Eva’s project – July

July was a good month.  Lots of time spent out of the city at the cabin.  For Eva this meant swimming, canoe rides, and chill time.  I think I captured some of that here. Incognito Week 27 “incognito” was in response to a hats challenge in the 52 weeks group.  Eva has a tiny head,Continue reading “Eva’s project – July”

Eva’s project – June

Hard to believe that the project is now half finished.  June saw a darn good puddle, deal making and dock jumping. The Official Start to Summer Week 23 “the official start of summer” featured a staple of summer in our family – dock diving at the cabin.   No fancy dogversation to go with, asContinue reading “Eva’s project – June”

Bruno’s 2016 project – May and June

May and June have come and gone.  And five more photos have been added to Bruno’s project.  Enjoying what summer has to offer – plus a little light reading.  He really is a good dog. Take Me Out to the Ball Game His first May photo “take me out to the ball game” was fromContinue reading “Bruno’s 2016 project – May and June”

Eva’s project – May

May saw some some beautiful spring weather in Saskatoon.  Perfect for a photo project.  Lens flare, fresh grass, Eva’s namesake from WALL-E, and a three part portrait at the lake. Halo Week 19 “halo” was a back-lit photo in the park.  Love the way her crazy ear hair glows in the light, and that smileContinue reading “Eva’s project – May”
