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 [...]

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 [...]

Some pet names just fit perfectly and Buddy, a sweet little pitbull I photographed last weekend, is a case in point. Buddy is the kind of a guy you just want to hang out with. He likes sticking close and he’s a big foot sitter–resting his rump on your shoes, generally while holding one of [...]

When I found out I had a My Mutt assignment to photograph a dog named Zev Valentine I was, to say the least, intrigued. With a name like that he had a lot to live up to and boy did he ever exceed my expectations. Zev turned out to be beautiful brindle pitbull with love [...]
