River: Cat on a Roll

Posted on 04. Oct, 2010 by Mark.

I’ve had a nice run with cats of late. Not only have there been more than usual but almost all of them have been total camera hams — which brings me to River, the ham of the hour. River’s mom had forewarned me that River might be a little shy but that was not to [...]

Carly: Spending Time at the Ingleside Sundial

Posted on 28. Sep, 2010 by Mark.

If you don’t live on the southwest side of San Francisco like I do chances are you’ve never seen the location for my latest My Mutt shoot: the giant 28-foot Sundial located in the Ingleside Terraces neighborhood. It was built in 1913 to help bring in potential customers to the new neighborhood being developed on [...]

As I mentioned a few posts ago, I’m trying to include more landmarks in my My Mutt posters so they give the stores they hang in a bit more of a sense of place. I’ve been doing this for a month or so now so be on the lookout soon for a collection of SF [...]

“Cute as the Dickens” is a phrase that came to mind frequently during my recent shoot with a pair of terrier mixes named Scooter and Kobi at Stern Grove in San Francisco. Initially I thought we’d end up having to photograph the two separately but they proved to be quite skilled at posing together and, [...]

Squeak and Kona

My cat photo run continues with a pair of kitties named Squeak and Kona (I keep thinking they should start a law firm) who live in a lovely spot down in the Castro with lots of wonderful art on the walls and a wealth of cat-friendly perches. Squeak is the older of the two and, [...]

Pookie

When I talked to Pookie’s dad about setting up his photo session he mentioned that Pookie had something they called Troll hair. I was of course intrigued and when I met him I couldn’t believe what a truly perfect description it is (though I think it’s maybe a combination of troll and wizard). Now don’t [...]

Madeline: This Year’s Idol!

Posted on 16. Aug, 2010 by Mark.

I’ve had a nice run with cat photo sessions of late . Photographing cats is always fun and interesting because you rarely know exactly how they’ll react the day you show up. Sometimes they hide and need to be coaxed to come out. Other times they’re feeling a bit more sociable and you can’t pry [...]

Jelly Bean: Could This Be the World’s Cutest Dog?

Posted on 12. Aug, 2010 by Mark.

7

After my wife and I adopted our dog, Bizzy, we heard that the place we got him had an internal code they used for pups like him: A cuteness emergency. Admittedly, I have almost no objectivity (ok, none whatsover) when it comes to Bizzy and in my mind he’s always been a 5-alarm-no-holds-barred-send-all-the-troops-you-can Cuteness Emergency [...]

Tyler: A Happy Elder Hound Hits the Palace of Fine Arts

Two of my favorite things came together for a My Mutt shoot last week: a senior dog and a classic San Francisco landmark, in this case the Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina. You’ll be seeing more and more of these location-specific shots for upcoming My Mutt subjects so be on the lookout for [...]

Prince: A Pup in Bernal Heights

Posted on 06. Aug, 2010 by Mark.

7

It’s been a while since I last worked with a German Shepherd or German Shepherd mix so Prince, a recent My Mutt poster model, was just what the doc ordered. Prince was adopted through Rocket Dog Rescue and we met on a foggy, cool afternoon at Bernal Heights park — so much for any city [...]
