Sometimes I need photography to be just about capturing everyday moments, not about creating the next "Fine Art" image. What better to illustrate this than photographing a new puppy.
Lynn and I had a trip to Toronto planned to get a number of things done and she suggested that we make time to stop in and visit her sister so we could check out the new addition to their family, Gus, a Bernese Mountain Dog.
Like all puppies, Gus is a going concern, with needle sharp teeth that he loves to let you feel as he mouths your hand or tries to bite your sock, pant leg, sleeve or anything else he chooses. Don't let those "puppy dog eyes" fool you. Behind the cuteness there's puppy mayhem just waiting to explode.
Gus is going to be a big boy. Those huge puppy paws with cute pink pads give away the fact that he's from one of the big breeds. He should top well over 100 lbs when he's full grown.
All of these shots were taken during periods when he was resting or tuckered out completely otherwise he was trying to get up and personal with my lens or biting at my camera strap.
