Year In Review

1/1/2016

0 Comments

 
I, unfortunately, did not make the time frame to link up to the bonus week of Project 52 due to a very busy week, which also involved an ice storm.  But for fans of the blog loop, I've included the link at the very end of this post so you can still read the blogs of other participants for the week.

I am looking forward to the 2016 Project 52 year, as we will be using a text to guide us as we move through the year.  I will tell you more about it next week when the year begins anew.

I thought I might share just a few of my favorite photos from this year.  Since I did quite a bit of shelter work, I am going to feature some shelter dogs and cats as part of my review.
Picture
Early in 2015, I visited the Lehigh County Humane Society and met Anna.  She was a shy little terrier mix that just loved the vintage suitcase I brought along.  It provided comfort for her and I was able to better photograph Anna this way.  Anna was adopted to a very loving home within a week of this photo being taken.  She is one of the dogs that could have easily come home with me (which is an inherent danger for me doing sessions at the shelter).
Picture
I also met Larry that same day, and decided to do a little "packed-and-ready-to-go-home" shot since he liked standing on the suitcase.  Larry was also soon adopted.

In the spring I visited the Pike County shelter and met this lovely cat.

I also found this very handsome, stoic face at the Pike County shelter.

In the middle of the year I took two of my very favorite shelter photos at the Lehigh County Humane Society.  It was very close to the Fourth of July when I met Margo, a poodle mix, and another little dog that could have had my heart for a song.  Again I had brought a container with me to use for the smaller dogs who tend to be a bit shy.  They always seem to feel more relaxed if they are inside of something.  I tend to keep my props to a minimum when shooting at the shelter, instead looking for natural backdrops in my surroundings which can help to show off the dog or kitty.
Picture
As you can see, Margo really enjoyed her time in the bob-for-apples bin.  And so did Kahlua (below) who ended up being my cover page for my personal Facebook profile that month.  Both Margo and Kahlua were adopted.
Picture
 I need to throw in one more kitty to the mix.  Late in the year I snapped this photo of Church at the shelter.  I loved his massive head, how he patrolled the tops of the cages in the cat room and his insistence on knowing what was going on outside the windows at all times.  I was so happy to hear he was adopted as well.  I am sure he is sprawled out on a sofa somewhere.
Picture
That's just a quick review of some of the animals I've met this past year who were seeking, and ultimately found, new homes.  These shelters do their best to ensure that all of their charges move to great new places in their lives.  I am looking forward to meeting more of them in 2016!  Happy New Year everyone!

Now, here is a link to Susannah Maynard of Suzi Pix Photography and her Project 52 blog for bonus week.  From her blog you will be able to move on to see who else might be in the loop, but remember, you will not be able to get back here, as I am not a part of the loop this week.  I will be rejoining the group next week for our first week of 2016. Enjoy!
