The Intellectual
This little guy (named Pedro) belongs to a friend of mine. He isn’t trained, but he loves attention. When an “Out of Context” interpretive assignment came along I wanted to do something with dogs. My friends have two dogs and we originally thought the other one would be the best choice, but he didn’t respond. So, I took a cue from a magician who does shows devoted to Big Cats and has his own reserve area for them. He always trains every cat to be able to do most of the tricks, but on the evening of the show he only takes the cats who are in the mood and indicate willingness to go and perform. When everyone was gathering around the other dog trying to get him to respond, Pedro just volunteered himself and jumped up in the chair. Since he seemed to want to do it I just switched gears and went with the flow. He was perfect! He was very professional and he even allowed us to put these reading glasses of Anita’s on him without any problems. He acted like they were his anyway! I’d never have thought a little Chihuahua would be so easy to direct, but apparently Pedro has some secret wishes to become a doggy supermodel. He was quite the little poser for us and we all had a lot of laughs. I couldn’t have had more fun! My deepest thanks to Anita, Matt, Brande and Obediah for all their support.

This photo was previously admitted to the group Photography 101. I like it alot,however, the group guidelines ask for an explanation in your description about the photography aspects of the work. Can you please give more detail about your camera, lens, settings, what photography techniques you used, etc? I’ll check back again later to see if it meets guidelines, but if not, I will have ot remove it. Please remember its not a personal thing, but we would liek this group to be a learning group for others. You can resubmit it at any time with the forementioned changes! Thank you!

This is a cute capture. I have one dog of my own and my grandpuppy lives with us. My grandpuppy looks just like Pedro. LeeLa is never willing to pose…she is too hyper, so I totally understand what you are talking about. But let me get down on the floor with my Princess and the camera and she is right there…little ham bone..lol This is cute with the glasses. Good job with your technique to turn your attention when you saw the appropriate time to and pet to pay attention to. :)
