MaggieMoose: Camera Ready? CUT!

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:
"Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art."


  Meet Lester. He's a 14 year old, hard of hearing Cocker Spaniel. What a sweet, sweet boy he was although a little deaf. Maggie and Lester were ready for pick up from the groomer's at the same time. These two cuties had two things in common, both were Spaniels and both had the same haircut. Lester's mom and myself decided to get a photo of the both of them together. Maybe make that three things they both had in common since both dogs wanted to look the opposite way when it was camera time. Hold still Lester! Maggie look this way! Off the lens they were two peas in a pod right next to each other. 


When Lester looked at the lens Maggie looked elsewhere. when Maggie looked at the lens Lester looked elsewhere. I found these two Spaniels to be predictably unpredictable. I found out photography is a creative art as I tried to line these two up for one great photo shot. I had to dig deep in my creativity pocket to work this photo shoot out. Two WOOFS from the Spaniels.

MaggieMoose: Fuzzy Is What Fuzzy Does

Maggie's pawsabilty thought for the day:
"There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept."


  Somethings are OK to be fuzzy. Maggie's tennis ball is one such love of hers. It's fitting that the photo of her with the fuzzy tennis ball should be fuzzy itself. The all mighty tennis ball has conceptual roots of fuzzy meaning for Maggie. All of this goes beyond my scope of reasoning. It's almost like a Zen kind of thing. I might understand, but not really. What? Maggie assures me that it's OK if I don't understand, because it's her world and she understands. Fuzzy is what fuzzy does. No sharper imaging needed.
