It's more about learning how to see rather than learning how to use equipment. This book "shows how even the amateur photographer can achieve a stunning portrait and lasting momento of a treasured pet." Focus is on canine photography. Get it at Dogwise.com, home of the largest and best selection of dog books on the internet. |
Featured Rescue Site: Chicago Canine Rescue "Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation is a ... non-profit organization whose mission is to decrease the overpopulation, abuse and euthanization of dogs in our city and place rescued animals into responsible, loving homes." Each week I scan the online rescue sites to find one to feature here, and each week my heartstrings get plucked by the pictures and stories of these wonderful potential companions. If each of us would dig down and find the time and space (in our lives) to take one home, the shelters and foster homes would soon have much less to do. |
