PHOTO FOR THE DAY

I have mentioned before, I have another blog (Cult of the Greyhound) and I try very hard not to double-dip on the photos. But with this one, I just can't help it. One of my favorites to date.

PHOTO FOR THE DAY

I, camera in hand, am typically chasing after dogs trying for that perfect photo (see my other blog). I've come close, but have yet to get it. In the mean time I get lots of photos of wicked cute dogs. See Exhibit 'A' below.

BACKCOUNTRY PHOTOGRAPHY NEWSLETTER JAN 20, 2010

Hello All, You are receiving this email because you have bought something from me, thought of buying something from me, stopped by my booth at a show and chatted, or are friends and family. Please let me know if you wish to be removed from this list. Thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I know it has been suspiciously quiet from the Backcountry Photography front and, though not making news, I’ve been keeping myself pretty entertained, mostly with meteorite and gem show related items (and a computer rebuild – thanks Susan).

Anyway - I’m warning you now, this is going to be a meteorite/rock laden photography newsletter. All I have to do now is figure out how to work in the greyhounds and I’ve covered all my passions. (ohhh…see how I just did that?)

So…Here’s what is going on - Gem show in 3 weeks! Meteorite Men premier today! WOO HOO! I can hardly keep myself contained.

There’s so much to tell you about rather than make you read it all here, might I recommend you visit my blogs: http://www.backcountryphotographyaz.blogspot.com/ for all the updates on the latest places to find backcountry photos, the Meteorite Men behind the scenes photography feature, and photos from the trip to the Reid Park Zoo; and http://www.cultofthegreyhound.blogspot.com/ for new photos of the poochies running, getting in trouble, and generally looking really cute.

This newsletter is also intended to invite those of you in Tucson to the premier of the Meteorite Men series tonight at the Sky Bar on 4th Avenue (next to Brooklyn Pizza). 6 PM is the pre-party, 7 PM is the screening. For those of you who can’t make it, watch the Science Channel tonight at 9 EST and 7 MST, and each Wednesday for the next 6 weeks.

And for your free desktop photo…

I struggled today over whether to send a Meteorite Men/Meteorite/Gem Show related photo or the one that I have had on my desktop for the past few weeks. Looks like you are getting the giraffe.

Enjoy.

NEW GREYHOUND LINE - FASTDOGS NOTE CARDS - post 1

As you know, I am a bit of a greyhound freak. OK I’ll admit it - obsessed really. I would have considerably more than my 3 if space permitted. So, the natural conclusion, if you have greyhounds and a penchant for taking photos, would be that there would be many, many, many, many (that’s not nearly enough ‘many’s’ but you get the idea) greyhound photos on your hard drive. (enough actually to warrant a separate external hard drive) It is like how peanut butter goes with chocolate. Hmmm, I could use a Reese’s right now…

Anyway, I digress.

I did, I mean, I do - have many photos of greyhounds: and a photography business. The amazing thing was it took a question from a friend to put the two (hobby and business not peanut butter and chocolate) together. “Why don’t you have greyhound note cards?” Again…hmmmmm.

So my first official ‘line’ of cards is the greyhound line. (heh. Another plug. You would think you were watching Josie and the Pussycats with all the ad placement. Which, by the way, you would watch often if it was the favorite movie of your favorite niece and you had movie nights often) But again – digressing.

So here we go. A line of greyhound cards. All note cards, an original photo attached to a heavy cardstock in either cream or white, come with envelopes. Prices are:

$3.00 each
4 for $10
or 12 for $25

As an added incentive, a portion of all proceeds for the greyhound cards will go to AGR (Arizona Greyhound Rescue) or GAL (Greyhound Adoption League).

Oh, one more thing. As I have mentioned before all my photos are un-enhanced. I now need to modify that statement as some of the greyhound photos have been edited. Mostly cropped to get the hounds more centered in the frame but there has been some removal of hands and legs of owners, etc. I have learned it is not easy to get an action shot of a greyhound running. Most of the photos I get are of blurry grass and the end of a tail. So…please note - all the fine art prints are still un-enhanced, the greyhound note cards have been modified.

Oh, a second one more thing…I’ve posted the photos in 3 separate posts for easy viewing. When you place an order let me know the caption and the post. This is post 1. Thanks!

Willow and Ike - Nom Nom Nom

Izzy - after the squeaky


Butters - (The anti-greyhound)
