Doodlebug The Amazing & Heroic Corgi Mix (Click to enlarge)
Does Doodlebug look like an every-day sweet someone? Uh uh. Nope. When she arrived with her dad in tow, she had quite a story to tell. There was so much coming from her, I feared I would forget all the details. Alas, I have. Suffice it to say that her story involved rescuing a village in the vast ice-land of Alaska, then finding her way to a ship where she saved the crew from drowning. After landing on the mainland, she had various and sundry adventures before finding her forever dad…the guy with the incredible imagination, and a penchant for fiction.
These two have formed a perfect union. I told Doodlebug’s dad that I hoped he was writing the story, as there was so much to tell. Perhaps he’ll fill in the details here, and correct the parts I got wrong. Although I couldn’t talk dad into getting into a shot with her, this is the story photographers wish to tell. To catch you up, read the Sisters post about Doodlebug’s aunt, and what part she played in placing two Rat Terriers in their forever homes. There’s another shot of Pippi, one of the sisters, in the How Big Is Your Heart post as well.
A pet photographer’s job is to tell the story in pictures that the writer tells with words. I work at this concept everyday. If you’re trying to promote your business, the art of writing is one that can, and should, fit into your desire to become a better pet photographer. In a workshop about the business of photography, the speaker told us that it was almost as important to learn to write well as it was to become proficient with photographic skills. He recommended, as will I, On Writing Well, by William Zinsser. Read it – you won’t be sorry.
