52 Weeks of Auggie – 7/52 Valentine’s Day
A puppy would make a fantastic Valentine’s Day surprise. Unfortunately mine still isn’t even conceived yet.
Rejects:
I had some “backdrop” malfunctions involved with these rejects. This one is SO cute but the backdrop didn’t cover the whole couch, so I felt funny using it as the one I liked.
More backdrop malfunctions. He looks so smug in this one!

52 Weeks of Auggie – 6/52 Bedtime
Ahhhhh… bedtime. This presented a bit of a challenge because I haven’t managed to get photos of Auggie sleeping since he was a puppy. If I move he’s immediately up and going “Whatcha doin? Are we going somewhere? What’s that? Hi what are you doing?”
So I had to lay on the floor for nearly an hour until he finally settled down and I was able to get shots for this week.
Also, I shattered Auggie’s world. I opened the side door on his crate so I could get photos from a different angle, and his MIND WAS BLOWN. He kept staring at the opened door, the door I normally open, then at me, and could not understand what had happened.
Only one reject:
I felt the angle of the one I picked was better, though this is a pretty cute little picture too!

52 Weeks of Auggie – 5/52 Colours
I had a tough time with this one, because there’s not much as far as colour outside goes. There’s a ton of snow on the ground so it’s basically white, and being an art student I am adamant that white is NOT a colour but the absence of colour, therefore using “white” was out of the question. I did consider doing yellow and photographing Auggie in front of some yellow snow… I also had a great idea for yellow involving tennis balls, but was surprised to find he doesn’t own as many yellow tennis balls as I thought.
So I just went with red, which is the colour I buy all of Auggie’s leads and things in.
Here’s all the rejects… this was kind of fun.
I really liked this one because he looks like such a badass in it.
This one cracked me up and I liked it, but decided ultimately that wasn’t the one I wanted to use.
But it gets funnier.
…and funnier…
…and eventually it becomes HILARIOUS.

52 Weeks of Auggie – 4/52 Oh The Places You’ll Go
We were supposed to get out of the house for this one. The weather sucks here so taking the dog anywhere OUTSIDE was not going to happen.
So I took my dog to work with me.

52 Weeks of Auggie – 2/52 It’s All Black & White
For this week, we were to shoot in black & white. I don’t shoot much in black & white… and I don’t think I’ve taken ANY black & white shots of Auggie in the entire five years I’ve had him, so this was kind of an interesting challenge. It also took me back to when I was in Photo 101 (though that wasn’t the last time I shot in black & white, it was certainly when I did the MOSt shooting in black & white.)
I took a LOT of shots for this and narrowed them down to just a few, and for some reason I just really liked this one… so this is what I went with. It’s a bit grainy, I over-sharpened it just a bit, but it sort of reminds me of when I’d be in the darkroom and there would be dust on my film or the enlarger and that angry fit you throw when you get all kinds of dust and scratches on your print as a result…

52 Weeks of Auggie – 1/52 First Is The Worst
For the 52 Week project, week 1, the theme was “first is the worst,” or dogs behaving badly. MY dog? Behaving BADLY? No way.
Getting Auggie to behave naughty was not difficult. The hardest part of this was picking out which of his destroyed toys to take out of the “need to be sewn back together” pile and give to him to let him rip up some more.
I have a set on Flickr where all of these will be hosted if you’d like to just view all the photos in one go:

52 Weeks of Auggie – 0/52 Right Hand (Wo)Man
I have joined a photography project for the year of 2011. It’s a 52 week project (rather than the popular 356 day project) so you take one photo every week. This week is week 0, so just a “practice” week where everybody was making sure they could get their photos uploaded and everything. The theme was “Right Hand (Wo)Man” or just a shot to establish who your subject is going to be for the project.
Mine, of course, is Auggie… since he’s all I’ve got.
For now.
The group for this project is on Flickr, so I have a set on Flickr where all of these will be hosted if you’d like to just view all the photos in one go:

I also made a set where I upload a few of the shots that came REALLY close to being “the one” out of all the photos I snapped. I tend to shoot a LOT and only select a few to upload and post anyway, and for this project I narrow it down even further to a handful of photos in the running to be the one photo. These are the few photos that I passed over in favour of the photo shown above. Or, as I call them… The Rejects.
