Now that my favourite model, my dear departed Ashley, is gone, I find myself looking around to see what others there are to photograph. On a boat trip during my summer holiday, there were several dogs on board. Couldn't get a clear shot of most of them (pity, there were some really good-looking cock...

I think of my dear, departed Ashley every day. She was such a special dog, and such a special friend. Fortunately, there are so many photos of her to help me remember everything we did together. Funny thing is that I took quite a few photos of her that were appreciated by many EPZ members, and...

I'll let the picture speak for itself...

Today I've done what has been unthinkable for so long, but became inevitable in the end: I've said goodby to my best canine friend ever, my dear Ashley. Read my previous two blog posts if you want to know why this was necessary, because I don't really want to repeat that, I just want to re-live g...

The health of my best canine friend Ashley is going downhill so fast now that I've reluctantly concluded that it's time to say goodbye. But before that actually happens, I want to remember the good times. And those good times are so recent - even just last week, she was on a short holiday with m...

My poor doggy is like a pharmacy on four legs by now. Apart from the cancer that she beat but which seems to be returning now, the arthrosis, the allergies and skin condition, she has a number of new, additional problems now as well. And after announcing one of them the vet didn't even want to give ...

Still on the dog theme, but going in a different processing direction. I've been looking at the possibility of giving images a painterly feel. This is just an experiment - the image isn't ideal, due to (among other problems) the burnt out whites on the head. But it gives me a good idea what's pos...

And very cute. But a picture says more than thirteen words :P :

I like to photograph many different things, but my favourite subject will always be my lovely canine friend and companion, Ashley, for as long as she's still here. And of course when we recently started having nicer weather, and the light was good, I couldn't resist taking her picture, although I...

We managed our third meal out in a row tonight, hosted by two of our friends. This is their dog Amber. I think that this close-up shows her character rather well. I'm quite impressed at how well the Tamron shows all of the different textures too, particularly around her eye. Nikon D300; Tam...

Some photo titles are very popular on ephotozine. "Sunset" is an obvious one, of course. "Untitled" an unfortunate but understandable one. (And I thought "Untiled" was a funny typo. The photo was indeed untiled. And untitled...) Variations of "Are you/ewe looking a...

Which Way? Whilst shopping in town this afternoon I spotted this old chap looking in a shop window, nothing out of the ordinary there, but then I spotted his faithful dog looking the otherway, which intrigued me into taking the shot. Later I discovered he was looking for his masters wife, who was...

Ashley and I went for a stroll in the woods, as we often do when I can make my lunch hour long enough - she's not so quick anymore, she's behaving more and more like an elderly dog, and at ten years old I suppose that's not surprising. Having (had?) cancer, having arthrosis, etc., doesn't help eithe...

In a constantly changing world, when I look back as long as twelve months I find that I'm not doing much the same as I was a year ago. And, if I'd tried to predict what I would be doing now, I would have been wildly off the mark. And I guess if I try to look into the future now, I will end up with t...

My favourite model, the lovely Ashley, is down - in more than one sense of the word. Over time, we had noticed her developing a slight limp. Thinking it might be the first signs of arthritis, the vet prescribed medication. And then it suddenly got a lot worse. A specialist had her leg x-rayed an...
