South Australian Obedience Dog Club

After the breakfast meeting last Tuesday, I stumbled across the South Australian Obedience Dog Club (SAODC) in the south eastern corner of the city. I spoke with Pin, the president and also shot some photographs of a couple of dogs. Pin asked me to come back the following Saturday for the Night Trials. I did just that. The images above are only a few of the hundreds of images that I snapped. These are Shetland Collies, a German Sheppard puppy and a young Dalmatian.

The SAODC also had a raffle where the first prize is a photo shoot with Benjamin Liew Photography worth $168. The winner of this prize is Eileen and Peta - her cute little collie. The winners photo shoot will be happening next week at the SAODC grounds at midday.

It is good to see so many dogs so well looked after and cared for by their owners. It's a lot different to seeing all the poor abandoned animals at the Animal Welfare League.

I am selling the images as prints to anybody who wants them. I have order forms which can be downloaded from my website, and the pictures can also be viewed on there.

AIPP Brekky meeting & Random encounter with a dog club

On the first Tuesday of each new month, members of the AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photographers) and people interesting in joining gather at Alfonzo's on Hutt Street for a breakfast meeting. This morning was the first meeting following the SAPPAs which is the South Australian Professional Photographers Awards. There was a little discussion about the awards themselves but we mostly talked about Kristy's experience with lunatics, Angela's car being sold and possibility of purchasing a new camera (unfortunately it's not a Canon), Kens new G10 and when he will get his Visa and how hot the sun can be when it's shining on your back for an hour or two.

Following the meeting, I had a bit of time to kill before my meeting with my client who is also my Yellow pages representative, David to discuss options and fine tune the advertisement. I drove around the south eastern part of town looking for graffiti to photograph but came across a dog club instead. There were at least 50 owners and their dogs there being trained. I spoke with the president who's name is Pin and the Vice President (i think) by the name of Rob. Pin told me to come back on Saturday night where I will be able to hand out cards. I will do just that.

Peta is a 9 year old Collie and her owner Eileen allowed me to take some photographs. Spice is a 5 month old pup belonging to Jackie.


The posted photographs are of course raw and unedited photographs.

Cheers,
