Introductions and Salutations

As an introductory first entry, this page is dedicated to the barkloads of dogs I'm privileged enough to meet daily working as a shopkeeper at Dirty Dog, an austin-area establishment providing full service and self service dog washing and grooming.

Every day at Dirty Dog ushers in a special kind of cheery chaos, peppered with dogs of a complete variety of sizes, breeds, and temperments. To me, these animals are the epitome of loyalty and joy embodied in a creature companion. It's a fantastic pleasure to meet the canine 'apples' of our customer's eyes, and witnessing each particular bond that is inevitably developed between dog and human is a hugely special thing.

Being exposed to such interactions between animal and owner is a delight to my keen interest in dogs, and emotive photography, and the purpose of this page is reserved for my little portions of these encounters. Being allowed witness to the happy and incalculable love of a dog buddy for it's master and friend is an honor, and capturing such an experience in a photograph is my passion.

Hopefully the results of my dedication to providing evidence of 'puppy-love' will exist to be enjoyed, and perhaps desired for you and your special tail-wagging buddies.
