NEEDS IRONING

Am I the only person who cracks up at the sight of a basset hound?
That these dogs compete in anything is amazing to me and that they are
successful is truly something. I look at them and always think they look like they
need to be ironed.

I sure wished I'd had my sidekick from yesterday with me but alas she opted
to stay home and play with hot lights and pretty flowers. Can't say as I blame her.
I am starting to question whether I have the temperment for the show photos.
Today was tremendously busy and of course I love all the dogs but it really
isn't all that creative.

Okay, here's a little amusing snippet... When I set up my "studio" and photograph
under the lights, I always work shoeless. I really don't give it a moment's thought. One of the first things I do
is kick off my shoes so I don't get the backdrops dirty as I walk across them. You'd be amazed how many
people comment on it. Here's an example of how focused (no pun intended) I am when I am
behind the camera... early in the day today I tripped and careened into something. It wasn't
until late in the day when I was packing up that I noticed an odd pain in my foot. I just looked down
and noticed my toe is all swollen and blue and most likely broken.
