Grace: Beautiful Dog in Need of a Loving Home
Posted on 12. Mar, 2010 by Mark.
Of all the BADRAP pit bulls and former Michael Vick dogs I’ve photographed over the last few weeks I have to say Grace is about the sweetest. She’s gentle, quiet, has a near-constant doggy grin and just received her Canine Good Citizen award. She also happens to be available for adoption (scroll down to learn [...]

Tinkerbell:
Posted on 10. Mar, 2010 by Mark.
It’s fitting that a dog named Tinkerbell lives in Half Moon Bay. HMB is about as close to Never Never Land as you can get on this coast and I can’t imagine a better place to be a dog –lots of wide open spaces, lots of beaches and lots of critters to chase. Tink is [...]

Olive
Posted on 08. Mar, 2010 by Mark.
It’s been a while since I worked with a puppy so it was great to spend some time with cute little gal named Olive up in Novato last week. Olive was rescued through Rocket Dog Rescue and now lives with a maltese-poodle mix named Paco (along with some donkeys). It poured the day of the [...]

Hi Ho, Hi Ho. Meet Daddy-O
Posted on 05. Mar, 2010 by Mark.
The BADRAP cavalcade marches on. The star of the hour this time is Daddy-O, a wise elder statesman who visited my outdoor studio last week for his My Mutt poster shoot. A man after my own heart, Daddy-O is a big fan of naps and taking it easy. You go, Daddy-O, your poster choice awaits [...]

Vick’s Dogs No More: Jonny Justice and Uba
Posted on 01. Mar, 2010 by Mark.
One of the highlights of photographing so many beautiful BADRAP pit bulls for My Mutt posters these past few weeks has been getting to know a number of dogs rescued from Michael Vick’s Bad Newz Kennels in 2007. Last week I met Jonny Justice and Uba, now both adopted and living in loving homes in [...]

Kona
Posted on 25. Feb, 2010 by Mark.
It’s funny — when I photographed Kona ten days ago or so I was thinking about another dog named Kona that I photographed last year. I went back and checked and I did that shoot exactly one year prior to this one…to the day. What are the odds?
This year’s Kona is a beautiful grey pitbull [...]

Huey
Posted on 23. Feb, 2010 by Mark.
In all the years I’ve lived in San Francisco I’ve never been to Glen Park Canyon and it’s almost in my backyard. That ended last week when I met Huey and his mom there for a morning My Mutt shoot. Huey is a handsome brindle and white pitbull rescued through Grateful Dog with a great [...]

Toby and Sydney
Posted on 22. Feb, 2010 by Mark.
I’ve been shooting a lot of My Mutt posters for BADRAP (Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pitbulls) and last week I got a chance to photograph a lovely pair of older Pitties named Toby & Sydney. The dogs are really comfortable around each other and they’ve taken on that sort of married-couple chemistry where they [...]

Millie on the Marsh
Posted on 18. Feb, 2010 by Mark.
It’s been a while since I’ve been down to China Basin near AT&T Park for a shoot but I had one last week with a Greyhound named Millie. Millie is 8 and was adopted through Golden State Greyhound Adoption. One of her favorite things to do in this part of town is walk along the [...]

Cookie: A Girl and Her Toy
Posted on 16. Feb, 2010 by Mark.
When Cookie’s owner said she loved her squeaky toy and we’d probably need it for her photo shoot she wasn’t kidding. She absolutely adores the thing — a crazy ice cream cone/hedgehog combo — and it was hard to get a shot of her without it.
Cookie is a beautiful old girl – a senior labrador [...]

Coconut and Peanut
Posted on 09. Feb, 2010 by Mark.
Two-cat shoots can sometimes be a challenge for pet photographers, especially when you need both cats in the same picture. I met Coconut and Peanut–two cute young Tabbies–last week for a My Mutt poster session done in the name of the Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA. As with most cat sessions we had to warm [...]

Sarah
Posted on 07. Feb, 2010 by Mark.
When Sarah’s dad told me she was a Dachshund-German Shepherd mix I have to admit I pondered how that could have possibly worked out (daddy was the doxie, by the way). Sarah turned out just fine and will be celebrating her 16th birthday this year. Her image will soon be gracing a My Mutt poster [...]

Captain Skullcrusher
Posted on 05. Feb, 2010 by Mark.
Every time you think you’ve heard the best pet name ever along comes someone like Captain Skullcrusher. At the shelter where he was rescued, Skullcrusher’s name was just plain Captain. His new adoptive parents thought maybe a tougher handle would instill some confidence in the guy and the name just popped into their heads.
It’s all [...]

Ann
Posted on 03. Feb, 2010 by Mark.
I don’t get to Bernal Heights as often as I should. It’s got some of the best views in the city and is a great place to bring your pup for a light urban hike. I met my most recent My Mutt pup, Ann, and her dad there last week on one of the few [...]

Dolce
Posted on 22. Jan, 2010 by Mark.
Anyone who knows a modicum of Italian (or is a Fellini fan) knows that dolce means sweet. Well, you really couldn’t come up with better name for my most recent My Mutt shoot. Dolce is a cute-as-a-button Yorkie and Hearing Dog Program trainee. He visited my outdoor studio last Friday right before San Francisco got [...]
