This week’s winner: Nancy! I think i know which nancy this is, but can you drop me an email, so i can be sure that i am pestering the correct nancy?
This is Reilly the dog. I have been working with kaitlin over the past few months to figure out a way to get the word out about the dogs that she has up for adoption. i thought doing a set of portraits of them might be fun. This guy is named Reilly. unfortunately, he grew too big for his owner’s apartment and was eating them out of house and home
he is up for adoption, and we hope that he finds a good home. if you are interested in adopting him, let me know, and i can pass the word along. i would have put a link to his site up, but i lost it. dangit!
i know this song has nothing to do with Reilly’s situation, but i was trying to think of a good dog song, but i was drawing blanks. i have always been a huge stooges fan, and i thought this was a good raw song to start a monday morning. so, from Reilly and me, happy monday. he wants to be your dog.. i probably don’t.

Nice pic, as usual. What a nice looking dog. Did you have any trouble getting him to sit nice for the shoot?
On another note, when I saw the title, I thought of the the same song, albeit the PJ Harvey version. At least I think that’s who I thought of. Well… I mean, I know that’s who I thought of, but I also think she did that song. :::sigh:::
S’what I get for commenting at 2:30am.

Sergio! Yet another great shot. I’ll pass this link on to a family I know in your area, perhaps they or someone they know can provide a new home for Reilley.

Great shot, what a poser. I would like to see it with a smaller aperture though to knock out the background a bit. Alternatively, select round the dog with the lasso tool with a feather of 2px, inverse the selection… then apply a gaussian blur to achieve a similar result.

hey, leeds! thanks for the input..
i tried opening the aperture up to kill the background, but the dog was right up on it.. and was not budiging anywhere.. haha..
i have some photos of his brother, too!
