big moments from small things

I have a new favorite thing...getting published! These are small moments, but they feel really good.

This first one is my friend Shelley. She and I decided to combined interests one day and it worked out for us. Runner's World ran this shot in the currant July issue.

If you are into the vegan thing or curious about it, you should check out more of Shelley on her blog The Uprising for recipes, info and lots of Shelley wit.

And this one, yes Pippin wins again. Pippin, the French Bulldog, captured the AMSP Bulletin editor's eye for the spring quarter issue bundled with the PDN mag. Good dog!

 

 

More on Pippin...you got it, follow this fun pup on Twitter at pippintracy

but, the real creative behind this dog is Jen Tracy of Jenco Creative. You will know you're at the right website because you'll see another Athena and Pippin photo.

Thank you Shelley and Jen for making it all happen. I really enjoyed my photo-shoots with you and my paper keepsakes too. 

Cover Shot!

This week I found out that my image was chosen for the cover of the 2011 Rocky Mountain School of Photography catalog.  I love this image of Pippin and Jen and I'm proud to have it on the cover.  Jeanne, the owner of RMSP, gives one of the best image critiques at the school.  I'm very flattered to have her thumbs up.  If you asked Jeanne five years ago, if she thought she would ever have a dog, let alone a dog wearing Fifi & Romeo designer clothing on the cover, she would have said no.  I guess she couldn't resist that cute Frenchy too.  Also, I would like to thank my agent Page, without her this image might not have crossed Jeanne's desk. 

Every year, somewhere, somehow I get to visit my friend Jen.  We talk non-stop, eat sweets, run around having fun - and then pause for a photoshoot.  Now that I think of it, it's the only time I see Jen pause.  The photo above is our last shoot together, somebody forgot to tell Pippin that it was Jen's photo shoot.  As any French Bulldog lover knows, they steal the show.

Here are some past Jen photo shoots you might remember.
