Liz Young, Artist

Everyone loves Liz.  Me included.  Her studio is a block away, so I went over and shot a few photos of her latest project. We were talking about her work and she told me someone recently called her pieces ‘Cabin Goth’.  “Not Bad,” I said and we laughed. This is her deer made of old Teddy bears that will be in a show later this month.  I can’t wait to see the finished product and plan on shooting it in the studio.  You can see her website at YoungProduce.com or check out this cool feature of Liz on ArtSlant.

Violet

This was Violet’s last day in Los Angeles before moving out of state.  Is that why she is crying?  Quick someone give her back the hot wheels!  So cute :)

Chinese Crested

I’ve never seen a dog like this before.  His name is ‘Sparkles’.  Hairless except his head and legs.  Weird. Cool.

Costa Rica

Here’s a few shots from my Costa Rica assignment last week.

Catahoula Leopard Dog

I brought my Dog to the studio today.  That’s my boy. His name is Buhlow.  He’s a Catahoula from Louisiana.  My wife got him as a rescue when she did volunteer work during Hurricane Katrina.  They are a mix of several dogs including the Hound Dog and the French Beauceron.  They are used for hunting and can climb trees.  I read a book about them once that said, “If you don’t walk them several times a day they will eat your house.”  I found this to be true.  He actually ate the couch once and pooped white couch stuffing out for days. You can see why they are called leopard dogs. He has the David Bowie blue eye/brown eye thing going on.  He’s a good looking boy.  He wasn’t too excited about his studio photo session, so I made it quick.  I shot 40 frames with 2 strobes in less than 3 minutes and chose these 5.  I like them.  You can see his personality.  He’s a good dog when he gets his walk.
