Back From Westminster

Hey Everyone,

I just got in from Westminster this evening. What an awesome show - of course, I did not photograph any pekingese. :P I am working on processing the orders as we speak and will definitely share new photographs as they become available, and of course, as I figure out the passwords to my different websites. :P

I can honestly say that this show was an amazing success - the best I have done to date and I am really happy with it - from start to finish. It was also cool that I got to meet one of Julie Poole's former clients! A nice couple from Louisiana.

Any Rotties this year?

Jim

Hey Jim,

No Rotties this year. This was a very different year for us. We photographed both ends of the spectrum this year and fewer 'medium large' sized dogs. For example, we photographed 5 paps, 3 poms, 2 cresteds, 6 bostons, 4 frenchies, etc. On the other end we had a ton of really - and I mean really - big dogs. For example, 4 mastiffs and a 1 dog de bordeaux (there were a bunch of others, but it did seem to me that this year was the year of the extreme). Last year we did more medium/large dogs.

I am currently processing as fast as I can to knock it all out. My nephew has been here for the last couple of days, which has slowed down my ability to process.

James,
can't wait to see some of the images -- especially the Dog de Boudeaux! There were only 16 Rotties entered this year which I think speaks to the judging more than anything else. NYC is a long way to go -- and a lot of stress on both owners and dogs -- to show to a judge whose opinion you don't respect. Let's just say that the dog that took Breed -- a very nice Rottie boy BTW -- was not a surprise.

Glad it was a good gig for you. Now, get those images processed .
