Welcome Otis!

We had visitors in town from Vermont this past weekend, including brand new rescue pup, Otis! Rich & Sarah come from a very boxer-friendly family, and we were so excited to hear that Toro’s new little brother was coming through an adoption. Otis is about 10-months old and full of love. Eventually, I’m sure he’ll also gain some spacial awareness ;-)

Thankfully, the rain stopped at the exact moment that Otis stopped (it was a short moment), and I had my camera ready. The image on the right was given a color boost, just having fun with those wrinkles.

Another special guest showed up and thankfully is here to stay! My new Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS camera lens! These shots are some of my first zoomy goodness from across the table at a familiar Brewer pose.

The lens was officially brought in for the huge task of photographing Border Collies at the New England Border Collie Rescue group’s Dog Dayz of Summer event in Stephentown, NY on August 1st – all breeds are welcome, so maybe I’ll see some of you there?! If you’ve never met one, Border Collies are highly active, and this event will call on frisbee, agility, dock-diving, herding skills and more!

Twist my arm – this new lens was necessary!

Judy - Of course the pup pix are just fabulous, but the photog in me says a big CONGRATS on the new addition to your camera bag. F/2.8 AND IS! Very sweet indeed! You’ll wonder how you lived without it, I assure you.

Els - Scouring my local dog mag right now for border collie events within driving distance…that would certainly be enough to justify the purchase of the 70-200 2.8 as a sound business expense, right? Love Otis’ wrinkly-headed goodness :) Enjoy your lens!

Nicole - Congrats on the new lens and KILL me with boxer lovin. I try not to favor any breed… except that boxers are by far my favorite! hahah. Can’t wait to see more with that lovely zoom!

wendy - Do Boxers ever learn spatial awareness? :) That same lens is on my “next to buy” list! Have fun at the Dog Dayz of Summer!
