Companion & Friend


Quick grab to put up a new photo.

I put my camera into wireless master mode and my external flash on the sun room table pointing up at the ceiling.

I tried for an over head point down shot, but I had my 50mm on and it’s no macro.

Even though Johanna’s eyes are out of focus, there’s enough in focus on her that I picked this one.

I love when she lays her head on my feet. She’s almost there in this shot.

She got tired of the flash, and scampered off to less flashy confines.

Oh, by the way, it’s World Pentax Day and this is my contribution!

Walkin the Dog


A study in urban pet maintenance.

I like it best in black and white.

I didn’t see the arrow until I was reviewing what images I took today.

It does certainly add interest.

These two were walking each other during the Noon hour. As I was looking through my viewfinder, I spyed them out of the other eye (not the one looking through the viewfinder).

A quick re-focus (bravely on manual focus for a while), and bingo: there it is. The whole time could not have been more than 2 seconds. I missed a shot with the dog in better view. Just out of the frame, to the right, is the side of a chair in my office, blocking the view.

It pays to keep both eyes open. ;-)
