The day before Valentine's Day. Gromit and I have a surprise for Timmy. Nothing big, but we have both been working very hard on it.

What a fun surprise for Dad!

Week 6 / 52

What a great project. Although I was planing on doing most of my work with Gromit in studio, I just couldn't help the past couple of weeks as the weather here has been unseasonably warm and sunny and well, just wonderful!

Week 5 / 52

Another wonderful day in the sun. Another not quite as planned photo session with Gromit, but the sky is blue, the tide is low. What more could one ask for.

Just look at that face!

2011-01-24T20:26:00.000-08:00

I started working in a new project the beginning of the year. I had been getting ready for this the later part of last year and was really looking forward to a new, less intense project. 52 Weeks of dogs. You cant's just pick any ol' dog, it has to be one. One to challenge you both artistically and mentally. Gromit was my man again. Here are the past four weeks of this challange. I will try to update Grommies blog a bit more often!

Today we went up to Crissy Field in San Francisco's Presidio. It was cold, but that didn't seem to bother the Boxers, and there were a lot of boxers.

But, ohhhhh did they have fun!

January 2011

2011-01-07T09:51:00.000-08:00

Lots of things going on, as usual. I signed up to be a part of an online group "52 weeks of dogs". This year it will be a photo a week for 52 weeks, again all of Gromit, which is going to be a challenge. I will have a week (roughly) to plan out the next image and there will be challenges. I think this will be quite fun.

Gromit's book is in transit to our house as I write this. How exciting! 370 color pages of Gromit in action. Super excited, can't wait for it to arrive. If you want to check it out, go to blurb.com and in the search box type in "365 days in the life of a boxer named Gromit". I picked a few page layouts to preview.

On another note, while uploading to my blog, I was also uploading to a collaborative blog, "4 Women, 365 Days". This book has also been published each of us selecting our favorite top 20 images of the year. Again, it was published through blurb.com.

Now for the fun part. Halfmoonbay.patch.com has interviewed the three of us that live here in Half Moon Bay and is doing a 3 part article on us. Mine was released today. I couldn't believe it! Check it out!

To the end of one year and the fresh new start of another!

2010-12-31T21:28:00.000-08:00

Today I posted my last 365 Days in the Life of a Boxer Named Gromit photograph. The close of 2010...oh my gosh, what am I going to do with all of my time now? Am I going to try to photograph Gromit every chance I get? Am I going to mentally and physically sign up for another 365 day project. Nope, not this coming year. 2011 will be 52 weeks of Gromit the Boxer Dog. Yes, I will be photographing and uploading to this blog once a week (I hope) with Gromit photos and we will see what happens from there. This was a huge project and inturn, I made it into a HUGE book, "365 Days in the Life of a Boxer Named Gromit" 370 color photographs exploring Gromit's life, watching him grow and growing quite a bit myself.

Here is the link to the preview of his book:

Gromit the Couch Potato...

Day 286

2010-10-13T18:55:00.000-07:00

Gromit at sunset. It is amazing the color of his eyes when the sun is low on the horizon and there is no fog (yet).

Day 285

2010-10-12T18:53:00.000-07:00

Gromit loves to "pounce" on his tennis ball. He just doesn't pick it up and bring it back.

Day 284

2010-10-11T12:39:00.000-07:00

Gromit loves to snorkle for his tennis ball. He will pick the ball up just to drop it in the water again so he can stick his head in the water and retrieve it.

Is he still watching me?

Day 274

2010-10-01T09:04:00.000-07:00

Day 273

2010-09-30T09:03:00.000-07:00

Day 272

2010-09-29T08:58:00.000-07:00

Day 271

2010-09-28T19:29:00.001-07:00

You gotta just love a goofy, happy dog!

Day 270

2010-09-27T19:28:00.000-07:00

It was 77 degrees outside today. All Gromit wanted to do was sit in the shade and watch over his field-dom.
