I thought it might be fitting to start following the theme of this blog literally. I photograph a lot of dogs (and cats — but reconciling that with this blog title is for another post entirely) and when you actually catch one grinning it can be a real rush. This week’s star is a miniature [...]

Last weekend the San Francisco SPCA celebrated its 140th anniversary and I was asked to photograph it for them (I tried to get past the irony that they shared their anniversary date with the 1906 earthquake)

This is not to be confused with the venerable Chihuahua Cha Cha that’s still held up at Corona Heights but, boy, this is one well-attended event.

Now that the rainy season is truly behind us one of my favorite dog parks in the city is open again (actually, it’s been open for a few weeks but I didn’t get chance to go down there again until yesterday). St Mary’s is one of those great little secrets in San Francisco. Technically it’s [...]

Excellent news from Mark Rogers Photography land: a number of my favorite photos are being featured in a new line of greeting cards called Sincerely Fido. It’s a pretty cool concept the cards are written from pets’ perspective either to other pets or to human companions. The cards range from just plain funny to really [...]
