Thank you so much for your comment! #1424425Pam M June 03, 2005
Kymm,This is so funny and they are "co-operating" so well.
My only suggestion is to change the glass bowl out for something that's more in line with the surroundings. The heavy chairs and plain placemats and frill-less dogs and the cloth-less table are all more often in a masculine setting so therefore the "fancy" dish does not fit in as well.
Also, if you use a tripod to hold the camera a little more on-level with the dogs' heads you will probably get a more intimate look ... and also be able to set the camera itself more level and avoid even the slight warping (tilting feel) of the verticles in the wall and windows.
ok one more ... having the word "woof" show on both placemats would be balancing ... even if the outside edge of one (or maybe both) bone designs might get cropped off.
This is great and your dogs are so co-operative ... I think it would be worth your time to try one more. LOL you could even get some cheap cigars and a tacky ashtray.
THEN you could try a lady's version ... lace and flowers everywhere with the glass candy dish.
have fun,

Thanks Pam, I appreciate the advice and suggestions. Good ideas! #1428434I really like the expression in their eyes! The title is pretty good also !
I will be visiting you tomorrow afternoon for the first time in 8 long years! I can't wait!!! Plane leaving in a few hours!
I still think of you as a teenager, or at least, as "Daddy's little girl."
Not fair that Florida is so far from California. But I guess that is why there are airplanes.
Can't wait to go on a photo shoot or two with you and am looking forward to seeing you again, and meeting those smart puppies! Maybe we can all play a game of dominoes! Or do they know how to play that ?
Also plan on taking many photos of you, your puppies, your brother and his wife! In fact, for 10 days, I suspect we will both being seeing the world through that very small digital lens, capturing the moments in our portable time machines.
I am bringing a few photo editing programs and hope to be able to load them on your pc and teach you some things as well as learn from you.
See you tomorrow around Noon!
Dad
ps; My SEVENTH magazine cover is coming out next month!!!! #1438552

Nine years, but who's counting! The dogs only know how to play poker and Rummi-kub and teaching them that was hard enough! Congrats on yet another magazine cover. I am really looking forward to your visit here and especially going on photo shoots. So glad we have this in common. See you tomorrow!Pam M June 06, 2005
oh geeze! if I had to wait this long to see my out of town daughter, i'd become mmmmm stranger! Fortunately, so far we've been able to beg, borrow, or uh not steal (so far) or we've been gifted with the money to go back and forth every 6 mo or so.I hope ya'll have as much fun as me and mine do! Looking forward to seeing what you cook up.
