Ahhh, this is much more comfortable...

Posted by Rob (Velveetaville, United States) on 30 September 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Well, being behind the camera is like wearing comfy clothes after a hard day at work.

I feel so much better behind the scenes looking at my pups through the lens again.

This image represents the two of these dogs so well to me. Mille looking at my soul and sending me secret messages like "I think 4 walks are in order today". Max is always the protector, the guardian in him never sleeps... but he does, A LOT! :-)

Cheers,

Rob

@rainsocks: Thanks rainsocks, they really like each other even though they aren't blood relatives (don't tell them that) and seem to be in the same general place at all times.

Cute is the ideal word to define this image. The two dogs look like they like hanging out with each other.

Beautiful composition and of course the cutest subjects! Thank you for your comment about my mom. I too hope your mom is soon up and about doing good MOM things again.

@Rabbit: Thanks Rabbit, I have to find some other subjects so people don't get sick of seeing my dogs...

My Mom is doing well. I talked to her yesterday and she said that there isn't too much pain and she is resting.
