I'm so glad you found me! I'm a San Francisco photographer, and this blog charts my journey in the ever-evolving world of photography. One of the things I love about photography is that it's a journey, not a destination. I'm constantly learning and meeting wonderful people. Please peruse the blog to your heart's content, then check out my website and feel free to contact me! (I love hearing from you.)

Joy


I don't have a dog, but there's nothing better than watching one run. I just love how dogs give a two second run everything, as if there's never been a run before and never will one come again. Which is why I had to grab this picture as I was walking by, even though I don't know this dog and likely never will. And why I'm posting it, even though it's not actually perfectly sharp.

If I could run with that much joy, I'd be in a lot better shape.

(By the way, thanks for all your helpful comments yesterday about watermarks. Many of you said insightful things. I am still trying to find the perfect balance between all the reasons for having one.)

  4. I like this watermark alot more, much more subtle, and yep the dog is pretty ideally photographed - my camera thinks it can only take dogs at the moment.
