Moose, Max and I

I am taking Photography and Social Change to get my minor in photography, to enhance my photography skills and to learn how to use photos in a way that will make a difference. I am excited to see Professor Johnston's approach to the subject as well as how I will approach this in the blog post. I am apprehensive about working with the animals.

Moose is a Mali-Ship. A Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd mix. He's 8 months old and is being trained as a veteran service dog. We have another dog named Max, a chocolate lab. Inspired by Professor Johnston's work I thought I would try photographing my dogs at play. 

Moose is needy and high strung at times. Max is lazy and will strain with his head to get his food rather than lift his body off the floor. If you walk by Moose will spring to attention while the only attention you get from Max is eye movement.

Although puppies are harder to care for than kids, I think ours are turning out just fine.
