Fill the frame is the topic for week 3 of the dog photography 52 week project and I love this theme. I've always loved macro photography and last year I got the Nikkor 105mm micro lens. I'd read mixed things by other photographers about macros lenses but I love mine and I use it every session.

Blank slate is the theme for the dog photography 52 week project in week 1. If you're a dog photographer and you're new to the 52 week project, welcome. It's a great group and I love participating in this every week although I might not participate every week this year. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss a week last year but I'm going to cut myself some slack this year and be okay if I miss a week every now and then.... I think.

Favorite things is the topic of the dog photography 52 week project in week 52. Favorite things seems really appropriate for the theme since we are wrapping up the year. In 2017, I participated in the 52 week project every week (or at least I think I did. :o) I also posted on Instagram almost every day.
Instagram has something called #2017bestnine. It's a site anyone with an instagram account can go to and type in your instagram name and find out which 9 photos got the most likes in 2017. Here's mine

We have started the search to find Moose his next best friend. Sadly and very unexpectedly, Willow passed away last week. We'd discussed getting a 3rd dog occasionally over the last year because we felt like Moose would do best when there is always someone home to keep him company but we never did it. So now we are looking for his next best friend.
