June 13, 2009: I love my dog. A lot. He probably feels like a celebrity being chased by the paparazzi. I was taking good photos of him, but wanted to step it up a notch. This book gave some great tips on getting and keeping attention of dogs, and how to photograph different sizes and breeds of dogs.
