Some dogs chase balls, others dig holes, still more run on the beach and sometimes eat sand, but occasionally there is the dog who agrees to sit looking pretty and strike a pose for me. This week that was Mellow. He knows he’s a handsome fella and since he just had a good grooming and trim was ready for lights, camera….”say woof”.
He also enjoys a good scratch and snuggle and takes his job as companion to his human, Suzanne, very seriously. I thoroughly enjoyed my morning with them both.
This is not my normal post about pet photography, but as a photographer I am interested in all formats and this recent find of street photography is truly amazing. Check out this blog and look at the photos for a real visual treat and fascinating story.

Well, the weather may not be the best, but the year is starting off well here at Chickpea Photography. My first session of the year was with the adorable and very sweet Aki, a Akita, Shepard, Bernese mix. We strolled around Jack London Square smelling the sites and eating treats. Aki has a great smile and loving eyes. He is an older guy and seems the quiet type, but a real sweetheart. Thanks to his human Dave for letting me spend some time with Aki.
