Published by Mark under Animals, Cat photos, Dog Photograph, Dogs, News

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the good folks at KBCW, the CW Network affiliate for the San Francisco Bay Area. They’ve been running a Bay Area Top Pet contest for the last few weeks and needed a photographer to get some good shots of the winners: Zach, a really cool border collie [...]

Under One Roof pt 2

Published by Mark under Dog Photograph, Dogs

A few weeks back I held my second photo event at Under One Roof — this one was themed Christmas in July. We had a decent turnout with about half the participants opting to don a holiday costume. While I don’t play favorites I have to say the charmer for the day was an aptly [...]

BeeGee (no, not the band)

For those of you who fell in love with the dog from As Good As It Gets have I got a post for you. I had the pleasure of meeting BeeGee last week. BeeGee is a Brussels Griffon just like Timer in the movie. Boy, what a cute little guy…and he just adores his dad.

My new toy

For me the only thing more exciting than getting a new camera is getting a new lens. I’ve had my eye on the canon 16-35 2.8L for a while now and just took the plunge. I tested it out on my office manager and assistant, Bizzy, a couple of days ago and all I kept [...]

Topper

Topper is a chihuahua mix [...]

Diego

I’m a complete sucker for older dogs. They get so much nobler and mellower as they age and I love the way ones with darker fur mask as they gray. I met a nice old fellow named Diego last weekend on a shoot for veterinarian starting a house-call business here in San Francisco. Diego is [...]

Project Homeless Connect #22

Those of you who read this blog semi-regularly know that I volunteer for an organization here in San Francisco called Project Homeless Connect. Every 6 weeks or so PHC holds an event at a major venue in town where homeless service organizations and homeless clients meet. In a word, it’s amazing. You’ve really never seen [...]

Guest Blogging with Dogster!

Published by Mark under Animals, Dog Photography, Dogs, News

My good friends at Dogster recently asked me to help fill in on their For the Love of Dog Blog while they search for a new full-time blogger.
My first post was yesterday. I went with a you-provide-the-caption approach for a funny shot I took a few weeks ago and the response has been pretty decent [...]
