So here we are once again, black n white Sunday… back from a little hiatus of a couple of weeks. Well not really a hiatus, back from Blogpaws and finally finishing up my projects for a couple of my photography classes. I am happy to be celebrating on of my favorite days of the week, Black & White Sunday. Today I am sharing a couple of pictures that I turned in for one of my final projects, titled the “Life of My Dogs”. A great series of photos depicting the lives of my dogs. All shots were taken with a DSLR and developed in the darkroom with digital negatives. The photos below are from the actual digital files. I am also happy to report that I received an “A” for my final project!
The above picture is one of my favorites. Katie and Riley love going for rides in the back of the trike with their Doggles on. They are so cool and I must say look adorably cute. They can ride around in the basket for hours and be as happy as to little peas in a pod.
A few weeks ago Riley and I headed to Monterey, CA to check out a couple of museums and while we were there we headed to the wharf to get some yummy clam chowder bread bowls for lunch. Afterwards we started walking around the wharf when it began raining. Like a good Shih Tzu mommy I had Riley’s rain coat on hand, but left mine in the car. So we thought of waiting it out under a building for a while, but after 10 minutes the rain was not going to let up, so I endured the 1/4 mile walk back to the car and ended up soaked, but Riley was nice and dry, well, except for her feet.
If you would like to see a few more photos from this project, be sure to check out In the Mirror and Quiet Sepia Saturday.
We are so excited today to be joining the Black & White Sunday Blog Hop hosted by Nola Dachshund & Sugar the Golden Retriever. Be sure to stop by and check out their blogs today and also all the other wonderful bloggers participating with their incredible Black & White photos!
Wow! I love these photos and the story behind them. How adorable are Riley and Katie in their doggie basket, I wonder if I could try that with the cats? Congrats on the A, but I think you deserve a + to go with it. xx
Loving the photo of them in Doggles – they look like little fashionistas! I wish Chowski would sit still in my bike basket. I haven’t tried yet but he is a major fidget bum so I don’t know if I should dare!

I would try it… just secure him with a harness and a short lead. ๐

Thanks!!
Great Photos. We missed you at BlogPaws??? next time. Happy Black n White Sunday. Golden Woofs
No, you didn’t. Riley was the little Shih Tzu that didn’t like walking up to Sugar! … she was the little one who is scared of big dogs. ๐
Oh my gosh! How gorgeous, I had no idea Doggles would fit a shih tzu’s little face so well… and summer is just around the corner… uh oh!! Congratulations on your A – so well deserved!
Hugs, Carrie (Myfie, Ellie and Millie) x

they fit great, it’s all about getting the right size and not adjusting them too tight ๐
What a good dog mom you are! And I have never heard of digital negatives, your pictures are really beautiful! Love Dolly

Thanks… digital negatives are a rather new thing. Basically you create a transparency and then make a contact development…lots of fun but very time consuming. ๐
Beautiful photos! That was a well deserved A! ๐ Your doggies are so cute. Love the picture of them in the basket, adorable!

Thanks… I am just amazed that they will were them ๐
Your photos are awesome. I can certainly see why you received an A. I give you an A+ smiley face! Isn’t it funny how we are prepared for our dog’s comfort and forget ourselves? I love the raincoat, it’s so stylish!

Thank you… I so agree, I place her comfort and care above my own, because if not, she can’t take care of me… it’s a very symbiotic relationship.
you are so incredibly talented! Those are just adorable!
