A Special Note about the Animals Photo Galleries from the Photographer
Click here View the Animals Gallery - But please read below first
The following photographs (all but the cow photo) are photos that I have taken of my own animals. I have many dogs, some cats, and some horses.
While all of these photos are available for purchase, I have built these galleries really because these photos are fun and make me laugh. Almost all the photos are PR0 or PR1 - I didn't spend much time correcting them, or naming them. They are all of unlimited edition. While looking at the galleries, I kept thinking, these photos would look great on greeting cards - so I have added a link to information about how to get these photos on greeting cards. I built this gallery because I thought you would find it highly entertaining and interesting.
I never actually considered photographing my animals for profit - it was simply a photographic exercise - they provide great opportunity for me to practice photographing moving targets, panning the camera and action shots. They run around like fools, and I get too photograph them. Some of these photos must be seen - they are wonderful - so I built this gallery.
I would also like to state that I DO NOT photograph animals fighting. In some of these photos, they look like they are killing each other. They are not. All of this is play. I have never photographed an actual fight - and will not. Even at play - capturing when they are pouncing, and freezing the moment of 'attack' makes some photos (and dogs and horses) look a lot fiercer then they really are. Besides minor bumps and bruises normally associated with dog play, no dog has been injured while I photographed them. They just run around like crazed fools pouncing on each other. They have great fun, and I have great fun photographing them.
Enjoy
