As a free lance photographer specializing in dog shows and candid photos of dogs at work and play, my photos have appeared on WRCF TV Channel 29 in Orlando, Florida; in my parent breed club magazine "The Beardie Bulletin", The Bearded Collie Club of America website; also for advertisers in "The Bearded Colleague", "Dog Review" and "The Canine Chronicle".
I've enjoyed putting titles on my Bearded Collies, Mac and Maggie Mae, in conformation and herding. Maggie Mae loves agility and has a full course in her backyard, although we haven't competed as yet.
Charles Namey, WRCF TV, and I have attended Westminster and Crufts Dog Shows since 1994. In our travels, we have attended dog shows in Ireland, Scotland and England along with Canada and many states in the US.
We have recently formed a non-profit organization, Friends of Fleet Peeples Park, Inc., for off-leash dog parks in Central Florida, USA. You may visit the website at www.ffpp.org. The dog park is a great place for candid shots of dogs interacting with other dogs and people.
As Past President and Secretary of the Bearded Collie Club of America, we both have had the pleasure of working with Chris Walkowicz, another member of the World Dog Press Association. A sample of my photographs appear on 123dog.net, but you may see my full gallery at www.macsbestfriends.com
Charles and I look forward to making new friends and seeing old ones at future dog shows.
