It’s snowing again.
So typically North American
Yes another blog post with the title “Snowing Again”
That’s because it is.
Oh yeah, and I signed it with my new wacom tablet pen ๐
Went to Ed Shapiro’s studio to learn a bit more about lighting and have Natalie take a publicity shot of me, Tyra and camera ๐
Not convinced the short lighting works well for dogs. Also struggled somewhat with the ratios when person and dog posed. Dog perfectly exposed and human too brightly lit or dog underexposed with good lighting on human. Photo above is of Alika. Fairly decent one, I think, but could have done without seeing part of the chair behind her. Processing of all the other files may take a while due to the lighting and exposure.
Lots of snow again on Friday. Boris loves it.
Went down to Kathryn’s place in Mallorytown for Janet Lundy’s handling seminar. Lilly & Luke came down in the van with Tanja & I. Had a good time & Tanja actually wanted to work! Called in to see Janet’s new house on the way home. Keith had made up some bottle crunch tug toys and Janet gave one each to us. Ivan loves it!
Posted my updated CV on monster.ca this morning. It’s also available here in word document format. Pass it on ๐
So why the picture of the stovetop?
Well, it’s Matthew’s 20th birthday today and we bought him a new camera. A Canon S5. Had to try it out to make sure everything was in the box and working ๐
Going out to the Baton Rouge to eat for his birthday and will give him his present there.
Indy went into the vet for her spay today. I dropped her off at 7:30, she was scheduled for 9am. Just got back home from dropping her off when I spotted blood drops on the floor. With 3 dogs milling round the kitchen it was hard to see where it was coming from. Finally realized Tyra had gashed her carpal pad. Rang the vet “weren’t you just in?” and took her in. Vet ended up keeping her in for stitches – cost estimate was as much as Indy’s spay! Hopefully the insurance will cover some of it.
Processed a few files. Ran out of ink so had to make a trip to Henry’s. Visited a local store to see about exhibiting some artwork. Went training with Deb & Helen
