Pardon The Dust

If you haven't noticed, updates to the website are in progress. I'm super excited about how it's going to turn out.

Stay tuned as Wedding images are added and we make changes to the Pet side of the site as well.

Pardon the dust as we work...

Dogs Unite

Some fun news...received a call from the owners at Dogs Unite and we're going to be working together in the future. Creating imagery for their site, giving tips and tricks on photographing your pets and giving members cool promotions to take advantage of and who knows what else is in the works over there.

In case you haven't heard of Dogs Unite, it's a brand new social website for dog owners. There are many cool features...blogs, chats, photo and information sharing, groups to join and meet other dog owners...the list goes on. And as more members join and share, it will become a great resource. And best of all, it's FREE!

So, go join Dogs Unite at www.dogsunite.com to stay in the loop and tell your fellow dog owners to join, too...what are you waiting for??

And here's a photo for the heck of it...

It's getting darker earlier...the air's getting cooler (a little) and the sun is giving us a nice smooth warmth...

I love taking outdoor pictures this time of year...


Happy Lady...

HSJT Video

The trips I took with the Humane Society of Tijuana were extremely moving. The images that I posted a week or so ago only touch the surface of what's happening to animals just a few miles south of our border.

The people who are working diligently to keep this organization and its weekend clinics going are extremely generous and selfless...needless to say their commitment is inspiring (I will be posting images of them in a few days).

So, in an effort to help spread the word about what HSTJ is accomplishing and to help define where a monetary donation goes, what a volunteer does and how donated medications and supplies are put to use, I composed a 2 minute video that shows you exactly that.

This compilation of still images clearly represents the living conditions and treatment of pets in one of the poorest areas of Tijuana and HSTJ is working to educate owners, conduct spay and neuter clinics, treat injuries and rid these animals of parasites to better their lives.

All I ask is that you send this to a friend, and please ask that friend to send to someone else and so on, and so on.

If you would like to donate, please contact Michelle at michelle@friendsofhstj.org or visit www.friendsofhstj.org

For those of you reading this via email, you will need to visit the blog directly to view the video.

If it isn't understood how imagery can aid in communicating the needs of a few to the many - this should make it clearer:
