The technical aspects are, light/shadow/detail, perfect.

The CHARM factor is outstanding. #6760224

Pat tell us little about your light tent.
I'm not familiar with pro equipment.
How does the tent look?
What do you do with it? #6760232

Laura E. Swan November 15, 2008

I love how Teena is saying this TOTALLY under her breath! Such a polite little lady! Maybe she just need to kiss him again? Ha! -Laura :D #6760268

WOW what a wonderful shot Pat... you and Graham must have so much fun working with these amazing dogs... the you guys work together on the photos as well... truely awesome results...

Sherrybear :}

just one question though... I have only seen this rare kind of frog once before... and it was in Canada I believe... Laura Swan was the photographer I think... how did it get to AU??? #6765417

Graham Robards November 17, 2008

LOL Sherrybear, Laura found a contact in China to make repleccas of her frog in plastic. It was the same frog she used in a flower for Candice if I recall.

Anyway to cut a long story short a few of her frogs were imported out here, they didn't sell well and I found one in a second hand store when browsing for suitable subjects for our light tent.

Unbelievable as Laura had autographed the bottom and the frog only cost 50 cents!

Thank you for your kind words Sherrybear but we do owe it all to Laura and her creations! She is now internationally famous. ~Pat #6766406

Laura E. Swan November 17, 2008

Hi you guys. I was SURE my Candice Frogs would be a big hit in Au, but there you go. I was only sent 25 cents profit. Must have been my "cut" from the one YOU bought second hand, Pat.

Froggie was a big hit with your cute dogie! :) I am so glad for that!

That really was a funny photo for Candice, huh? :) She laughed and laughed. I laughed while shooting it and making it just THINKING about it. Ha! Mission accomplished! :)

I like Christine L.'s saying..."Laugh With Me". What a healing thought!

Graham Robards November 21, 2008

LOL, HOW did you KNOW it was a take off of your frogs!

Oh no,it is written in the messages when Laura used an imitation frog for you Candice so it has been cast in stone, if there is a frog we think of you. HA.

My dear, my sides split when I put the frog into the light tent LOL. Such a joke! I thought you would love it!!

This is adorable Pat & Graham ~ great set-up and expression on your dog's face.. that must be quite a large light tent ~ mine wouldn't fit a dog inside! #6785489

Firstly, good to hear the frog was imported in not smuggled in!! You must admit Teena sure had her share of different friends. Great shot=^..^= #8614418

Laura E. Swan May 16, 2010

So fun to see this image and thread again Big Sis!

I bet these new comers don't know that Teena eventually became a Frog-Dog.

But THAT is a whole other photo! HA!

Love it! I think I might enter the one of Teena flying through Banff! What do you think? When she had her boots and Tutu on?! :)

Really good to see her and remember her again tonight.

Thank you!

Love, Little Sis xxxxxxxxx #8614452

Pat and Graham, this image was certainly worth re-entering for this month's theme contest!! It's a beauty!! Great work...and all the best with it in the judging!! :o) #8621925

Laura E. Swan May 19, 2010

Shoot. I just looked at it and there are a lot of technicals that are way off on mine. (Teena flying over Banff)...and I dont want to lose the thread y entering a fresh one. (Sigh).

I moved the image to my gallery for fun when people come by. Sadly it's not good enough for the contest.

YOURS SURE ARE HOWEVER!

-Sis xxxxxxxxxxxx #8622015

Graham Robards May 19, 2010

Shoot, what a shame little sister, that thread was just so good and a great memory of Teena as we did not know she'd die nine months later.

Amazing that. I can accept an old dog passing away but not a young dog. Very sad. Still miss her dreadfully that I just have to keep busy.

Well, Sis, I just now put Teena FRONT and CENTER in my gallery. :) She will be seen and remembered. :)

I'm so sorry you are hurting. Let your BP family lift you up, okay? We are all here for you. Only a keyboard away.

Love, Laura xo #8622155

Graham Robards May 20, 2010

Thanks little sister, I saw Teena in your gallery, thankyou. My hurt is only a fraction of what it used to be.

Thanks.
