My construction project has ended. I found a decent blog template last night and I’m up and running again. Please let me know if you find anything amiss — links that don’t work, etc.

Spring at St Mary’s Dog Park

Posted on 05. Apr, 2008 by Mark Rogers.

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 [...]

In the Cards

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 [...]

I had a shoot last week with a great dog named Chance. He’s a Rhodesian Ridgback mix who lives with his dad in the aptly named Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco. Chance is a rescue dog from the Milo foundation and boy did he land in a great home.
Chance loves his toys but is fairly [...]

I recently completed my second assignment for Pet Food Express’s My Mutt Program. This time the star was a tiny little guy named Sammy Darby Jr. He’s an 8-year old dachshund whose new owners adopted him from Rocket Dog Rescue. His name was orginally just Darby but when his new parents discovered he only had [...]

Look for my photos soon in a Pet Food Express near you.
Anyone who’s shopped or walked by any of the Pet Food Express Stores in the Bay area has seen the My Mutt posters they have hanging in the shop and in the windows. They’re of dogs and cats adopted from various rescue groups. Owners [...]

Project Homeless Connect #21

Last week I attended my 3rd Homeless Connect event at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. I have to say that it’s still amazing to me how smoothly these things go. Over 2500 clients came through this time and the thing just runs like clockwork. For this PHC I focused on the outdoor services – primarily the [...]

Pigs and Hotdogs

So, today I’m culling through old shots for decent pictures of dachshunds to use in a project I’m working on when lo and behold I get a notice in my blog reader about a recent dachshund mom that’s adopted a piglet. Is it possible to come up with something more adorable than that. Well, I’ve [...]

That’s Just Wacky

I love my dog! I can’t tell you how many times a day I look over at him and just start laughing. Today he decided the Oscars were drawing too much attention away from him and put on his own show while we tried to keep watching the show on TV. Guess who won? You [...]

Living in the Moment

Sometimes when life seems really complicated and stressful I take my dog to the park and just watch him. No matter the conditions (though he seems to prefer the messier ones) he always enjoys himself and for that time. Playing is his only focus for that hour.

Yes, he’s a dog and that’s what they do [...]

Valentine Vizslas

I really like Vizslas. I think they’re among the most dignified-looking and expressive dogs and I especially love the way they mask as they age. I had the opportunity two photograph two vizlas recently — a 6-month old puppy and a 7-year old — who happen to share a household with two kittens. Everyone gets [...]
