Jeeves: A Terrier At Dolores Park

Mark — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:31:34 +0000

I’ve been waiting a long time to photograph Jeeves for a My Mutt poster. I’ve met him before because his mom actually works at Pet Food Express and is the person there who lets me know about each new My Mutt assignment — I guess if this were CIA work she’d be considered my handler.

We met for Jeeves’s shoot at Dolores Park in San Francisco’s Mission District on a glorious late Sunday afternoon A few weeks ago and he did not disappoint. He’s a really fun and peppy terrier mix (redundant, I know) with a great personality. He’s constantly shifting between this sort of reflective-intense-serious Jeeves and a high-energy-playful-goofball Jeeves (terrier people will know where I’m coming from because we all live with this 24/7)

Jeeves, your poster pick awaits you…

Miles Davis – A Kind of Cool Dog

Mark — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:02:58 +0000

Naming a dog properly is a rarified artform and when you have a pet photo shoot set up with a dog named Miles Davis let’s just say expectations can be rather high.

Well, Miles met and surpassed them. He is a very, very cool dog and perfectly named. I think he might be a Beagle Labrador mix (he’s got Beagle tri-coloring but lab size). Our My Mutt poster shoot was held on an extremely foggy afternoon at Grand View Park in San Francisco’s Inner Sunset neighborhood. Normally, you can see the entire western end of the city but as you’ll see (or not see) visibility was limited to just a few feet (welcome to San Francisco in the summertime)

Let us know your poster pick for Miles who will hang proudly in the Stonestown Pet Food Express Store representing the Milo Foundation

Oh, and in the last shot you’ll see Miles with his little buddy, Cody, who will be getting his own post soon…

Warning…major, major cute puppy alert here. You’d think that when you’re around puppies a lot eventually the awwww-factor would diminish. Actually, it goes the other way. Last Friday was no exception when I was introduced to Jasper, an adorable muttly mix recently rescued through Rocket Dog. Jasper’s mom, Katherine Taylor, is a BodyTalk practitioner in San Francisco specializing in energy medicine for pets and people. I’ll tell you what: She’s got a whole lot of energy on her hands with young Jasper who had a sandy blast down on Ocean Beach for his very first professional photo shoot. Check him out..

Nothing can brighten your day more than rolling around in the grass with a cute puppy (is there any other kind?) On Sunday I had the chance to roll around with an adorable little Chihuahua-Dachshund mix named Olive who came to my outdoor studio for her first professonal pet photography session. She handled it like a complete and utter pro and I have a feeling this won’t be the last time she gets in front of a camera. Olive, I can’t wait to meet you again when you’re older.

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 can see more shots of Bizzy on his just-launched gallery

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 but I always find these times comfortably grounding
