One of my favorite shots of all, of my "ausky" (husky x Aussie) Diaz. She is 11 but was 6 when this was taken. I want to blow it up and print it on canvas or maybe pearlescent paper or metal, can't decide. I love this dog so much, adopted her in 2005 when she was several months old and she has been my constant companion. She's absurdly healthy and shows no signs of slowing down, still destroys squeaky toys and loves to go for car rides. :3

Another later that year (2011) I love, she was so happy playing in the mud.

I can't wait to start taking more photos. I had my dream setup gifted to me in 2011 (Canon 5D2, 3 L lenses, gear bag, etc) and unfortunately the body and my 16-35L were stolen from my ca.r. I had to sell the rest of the lenses as I couldn't afford to replace the camera. I was (still am) devastated. I now borrow my grandpa's cheap Nikon D3100 and I use his 24-70 lens mostly, but have a 50 1.8 for it. It's a downgrade but I am so appreciative that I have any gear at all to work with. One day I'll be able to get my Canon back, maybe the 5D3. I hope.
My dog is my ultimate muse and inspiration, she's what really took me from hobbyist to "doing more" with my photography and being an artist helped tremendously as I can take my artistic skills in Photoshop and translate them into my photo editing.
