If the second one is a dog photo, why is a striking blonde in the middle?
Just asking...

Fred, For some reason the first one reminds me of this:

Bill,
It is known that the dogs prefer blondes! Specially the striking ones.

Ok...................admit it, who even noticed the dogs in the second photo

I guess that if you get too close, you'll surely notice the dogs!

This is in Paris over twelve years ago. I came across it today while hunting for a negative and I immediately thought: 'Aha, this is one for Fred'.

Yes Seamus, I appreciate it !
I like this picture, in fact, the man seems kind of angry and ready to jump at your neck...
Do you remember where it was in Paris?
Looks to me like "le Châtelet", near the bridge to cross to "L'île de la cité".
Souvenirs of my city.

Now you've gone and done it, Fred. I love phodography.

To be honest, Fred, I'm not sure, but I will never forget your city - beautiful.
Tokengirl - good stuff.

Beautiful pictures Tokengirl!
And I think I'm going to learn a lot from your B&W convertions.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful images.
Ps: What's the trick to insert the images like you did in a post?

Stumbled upon this and couldn't help myself.
Here's my boy Calvin having just arrived in the forest before we go for a run.

I just finished building a pinhole camera the other day, and I used my dog as a model for my first roll. I made the exposures during afternoon sleepy-time in hopes that she might stay reasonably still for the long exposures. I don't know what I was thinking...
We made it about half way through a one minute exposure when she decided to change her pose, creating a nice ghost. Or maybe she just looks like a two-headed dog.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4093/4826539965_15d9e3f240_b.jpg)
The camera is built around a Horseman 6x7 film back I picked up on eBay, the focal length of the camera is 48mm, and the pinhole aperture is f185. One minute exposure on TMax 400.

Small dogs do have their advantages, I will admit. I can't do that with my dog.

Messing about with the new/old aka second-hand 105mm Nikkor led me to copy an old passport shot.
She was just under two years of age and waiting to reach the magic 24 months before she could get her rabies shots and fly out to Spain.
She travelled there in the heated forward hold of the aircraft in a box to RSPCA specifications which, for a 72lb dog (not happy calling her a bitch) was quite large. On arrival at Palma de Mallorca airport she made her Spanish debut on the conveyor belt. My daughter who accompanied her on the flight (not in the hold) was left to manoeuvre the crate and then, once off the track, it was realised that weight was going to make it difficult to handle through customs. So, the dog was taken out of the box, she saw Ann (my wife) at the other side of the barrier and immediately started to drag herself and daughter towards the customs people, peeing the while with excitement and sliding with vigour on the tiles. To avoid further trouble they thought might be coming, the guardia shooed the entite kaboodle through and away, not even looking at all the meticulously prepared documentation.
Them were the days - oh to be in my forties again; sin duda, best time of one's life. Better believe it!

The first and last in a series I did about a dog I owned named Billie who died suddenly, age of two.

Geoffrey,
I must admit that I like these both a lot. Well seen and composed, and they both convey well (to me at least) the feelings between dog and person.
More than simply dog portraits.

Beautiful photos, I especially love the 2nd one.
-
Geoffrey, I'm truly sorry for your loss, dogs are a man's best friend and losing them after 2 years is hard.
Anyway the pictures speak a thousand words, very nice memories of Billie and as pictures they have an awful lot going for them, very nice!
-
Thankyou, folks. The earlier pictures were made on film with a wide angle Rollei TLR. I am playing with a digital camera now, and it is going to take some time to figure things out.

I've read somewhere that the new photojournalism is a different animal; the technique, nowadays, is to arrive after the event and then record the special effects that said event caused to occur within the time frame of its manifestation, and then probe its residual memory within the realm of the present. (In fact, now that I reconsider, I believe that I am more or less quoting the delightful Annie L from her personal odyssey into the war zones of the Balkans with her erstwhile companion Susan Sontag. You can't get more validation that that.)
I feel specially privileged to have come across this particular scene which reveals, at least to the gifted viewer, the dynamic of the visceral reactions of the beast unleashed.
These are momentous days in which we live.

Rob you aren't getting evicted and being deported? Now that the SNP is in power in Scotland they won't let you back in. It looks as if you are now stateless. :) ;) ;D

Stamper, I know (think?) you are jesting, but I have felt stateless nearly all my life. In fact, isolation of one form or another is like a state of normality for me. I believe it might be the reason why I tried so hard to find foreign work throughout my life, and ended - well, for the time being - living abroad. I think it's part of the photographic thing itself: one spends so much time looking, that in the end, everything seems to be the same but different, no matter where you find yourself. Even eating is slowly turning into a commonality, much to mankind's loss.

Tokengirl, how lucky you are in Florida! What a life quality.
I don't get it why Rob who lives in the most beautifull beaches of mediterranean sea never go to the beach?
Because of the dogs?
Here are some urban dogs in a hurry...like everyone here
Fred, you know why: no more models.
I hate the beach otherwise; all that sand getting in the car, salt on the paintwork, idiots kicking balls into everybody else's space (why do males have this obsession with kicking balls all the time, plastic, leather or human?), yuck! You can keep it!

Yes, they were. The one on the left was a rather young mastiff at the time, and although the picture looks scary, they were just playing in the snow.

Slobodan, what breed is the dog on the right? It looks like a presa canario.

Indeed!
And to think we call them our best friends! Yes, I had a big pooch too, but it was an earlier, smallish fox-like one that was aggressive to larger dogs; it used to slip under their radar and grab the throat...
The larger one, the alsabrador, was generally rather coy and gentle, but she hated a large, black poodle that lived about eighty yards down the road. She always wanted to poop on its pathway if she could drag me over, but I tended to resist the temptation of letting her have her way. I'm a responsible citizen, after all! But at night... only joking.

-
Slobodan, what breed is the dog on the right? It looks like a presa canario.
Dean, I actually wouldn't know. Neither dog was mine. The one of the left belongs to my friends and I am pretty sure it is a mastiff. The other one belonged to a passerby in the park, but I believe (from the discussion between the owners) it was a mastiff too, older though.
-
Okay, here's my contribution to scary photos of dogs playing in the snow. I realize that the photo is of poor quality, but I hope it's interesting nonetheless.
I would not dance with that dog, or wolves, or bears. Not with those knives in their jaws.
Scary indeed
