SPCA Paws for Cause

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

This post is here in order to express my gratitude, not show off my photos. I have to say that 2 min portraits are not what I like the best but that is what I did for SPCA Paws for Cause. We were doing picture by donation and am happy to report that I have managed to finish and email each and every photo to the people who who participated. But it was supposed to be about the gratitude.. well people who have animals are special, but the ones who spend their time volunteering for SPCA and adopting the animals in needs are even more special.

Back in the winter I have met Sandra, she hired me to do the photos of JaC and now when I needed help for the event she volunteered to help.

Here she is smiling away! Sandra is working in marketing she knows how to talk to people. She loves dogs and she is a super nice person. She made my job so much easier staying on the ball all the time and on many occasions she was a step or two ahead of me! I just wanted to tell the world how grateful I am for having such a fantastic help.

Part two of my thanks is to the organizers and volunteers of Surrey SPCA, they work so hard in order to make the world a better place for the animals! And last but now least big thank you for all who participated, who gave money to this great cause!

Now just a few photos..

This is Henry who stopped by to say hello and Bella, who wanted to have her photo taken…

I am not big on having a set, but people of SPCA thought I needed some props so I got a wooden bail full of sunflowers (my favorite!)…I know it is cheesy, but what isn’t when it comes to posed photographs…

His name is Red and he is magnificent Pharaoh Hound…

Two Chihuahuas, who’s mom absolutely refused the sunflowers in the photo,  I agree Twiggy and Roo look fine without them…

My video… Thank you Carl!

Wednesday, September 9, 2009

So my new website is almost finished, but I could not wait any longer and I wanted to share my video with you.

Off Leash Video – Meet Angie

To be honest with you I have no idea how Carl was able to put it together so well, I was just talking and taking…and he made it into such a nice piece! Thanks to Carl Craig, he is a talented musician and as you can see film maker and web designer and so many other things.

Doggy Wash for Royal Humane Society

Monday, August 3, 2009

This weekend was a busy one in Vancouver! Fire and Police Games, Gay Pride Festival and Parade, Powell Street Festival and so on and on… We in our lovely New Westminster had our own event 12 Street festival. To help raise money for Royal Humane Society we offered doggy wash by donation in front Playful Puppy Palace. Off Leash Photography was there documenting the event.. I would not miss photographing dogs having a bath, it was fun! I have to say that taking pictures of dogs among all the hands and legs of the people washing them was quite a challenge…many times the awesome shot was lost with somebody’s arm or bum getting between the lens and the dog… but here you go..this is what I managed to capture on the fly..

Again the day was hot and the pooches welcomed the cooling effect of the bath…however some of them did not like the shampoo to much..

Lisa and her husband Khris from Playful Puppy Palace organized the event with participation of Royal Humane Society represented by Stacy, one of many volunteers.

If you would like to find out how you can help our local animals visit their site.

Small doggies ended up in the tub, big ones got showered on the sidewalk.

Lisa and Stacy were so delicate bathing the dogs that most of them did not mind at all and let the do what was needed.

Amazing new product has emerged at the event SlurPuppies (name given by Lisa’s  8 year old daughter)… these were Slurpees for doggies in two flavors chicken and beef. On the photo above the rottie is trying to decide which one is better..

After the bath each dog got a nice piece of doggy cake..hence the tongues sticking out.. one might have thought that the dogs were sticking the tongues at us..were they??!

Some of the pups had more areas to cover…

Some less..

It is not the same dog on both sets of photos… these guys live together, but are not related…Lucky for me their leashes were different color otherwise I would not tell a difference..

I was a great day for a doggy bath and a good day for Royal Humane Society that got some of the much needed money. Thank you for all who came out and had fun with us!
