Hey Everyone,

With the holidays approaching and inevitable question of what do I get for [Insert Name Here] lingering in the air, a thought came to me as I was sitting in my office with the newest furry member of the family Wiggles laying at my feet.  In the past months I have started helping out a great dog rescue in the town I live in.  The organization is called Marley’s Mutts I have blogged about it a few times before (it is where we were lucky enough to find Wiggles), and the place has become near and dear to my heart.  My good friend Zach Skow ( @ZachSkow ) who runs Marley’s Mutts has done amazing things to help wayward dogs find a second chance in new homes. And then I came up with an idea.  A photo gallery to help out called a Gift of Giving.  I have put together this gallery where prints can be purchased for that special someone and  100% of all the proceeds from the sales of the prints will go to help out the dogs in need like the 4 you see up above.

The gallery has a wide collection of images and more images will be added in the upcoming days.  You can follow me and Zach on twitter to get updates when new images are put into the galleries.  Also, if there is an image that you have seen in the past on my blog that isn’t in the gallery email me using the contact tab above and let me know what the image was and the date it was posted and I will see if I can get it added for you.

I have placed a permanent tab in the top navigation of the blog that can take you directly to the gallery.

Please spread the word about this and while you get a gift for that special someone, give another gift of a second chance for man’s best friend at the same time.

Head over to Marley’s Mutts Adoptable Dogs Page to see some of the dogs you would be helping out…

Thank you and Merry Christmas to everyone…

 

Hey Everyone, well I am dong something a bit out of my norm and I am asking for your help in helping out a buddy of mine who runs a great organization called Marley’s Mutts.  It is a dog rescue that takes in any breed (size is no problem) and takes care of them until they can find a new home for man’s best friends, who may have lost their way. 

Marley’s Mutts was selected in a competition by Dr. Marty Becker as one of the top 50 in the final round to potentially receive a 1st place prize of $20,000 to help out the winning organization.  You will need to have a Facebook account to enter the contest so please give it a go and vote for Marley’s Mutts.  I know these folks would appreciate the time and effort that you would put into vote and I know the all the dogs would appreciate it as well.

I appreciate the work the Marley’s Mutts crew does because, I was lucky enough to find our family’s newest (furry addition) Wiggles there and as you can she from the photo above she’s content hanging out with us.  

So please take 2 minutes and click on the Dr. Marty Becker link above and vote for Marley’s Mutts and help out a great casue that has found over 300+ dogs new home in just the last few years .  With your help there can be many more happy endings.

So if you see this on the twitter feed please re-tweet it and get the word out. 

Thanks

Josh

I am really starting to think this needs to be a new project at this point. I was working on iPhone handling technique (yeah, it sounds nuts) to see how sharp I could get up-close images. Best I could get was within about 3″ to keep it sharp and to keep the camera from drifting the focus in and out. I really enjoyed doing a flower shoot a long time back and thought I would give it another go with the iPhone and the Hipstamatic app…
