I’ve been shooting a bunch of dogs lately; wheeee! I mean, I love babies. But I love dogs. And this is why.

When I’m Adopting a Dog

susan sabo — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:27:34 +0000

Two weeks ago last Friday, I went over to the OC Animal Shelter to rescue a Poodle who was being circulated on Facebook. But by the time I got there, the Poodle had been taken by a rescue. Good! But while I was there I of course had to visit with the pups. Walking the [...]

Contact Sheets as Framed Photos

susan sabo — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 03:37:00 +0000

Remember contact sheets? Or proof sheets? They’re from the old day, you know….film days. Basically, a contact sheet is a film positive print of several thumbnails showing the images from a roll of film. They came standard with film processing up until a few years ago. Now I don’t know anyone who does them. Boo. [...]

Hidden Gems

I always perform a light test before a client arrives, and I always test with my dogs. That means there are Vatos photos on all my clients’ CF cards. Every once in awhile, I’ll find a hidden gem that I didn’t notice while I was testing. Those…those are the best.

Mr. Susan on film.

It’s always a treat to get Mr. Susan in the studio and boss him around. But it’s a special treat when I’m shooting him on film. *sigh* He’s one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever known. In and out.

One of the Things I Love About My Dogs

Thanks for the surprise, PurinaOne! We’ve started the experiment and will keep you posted. In the meantime, one of the things I love about my dogs: the little pool of foam that builds up on his bottom lip. LOL, I don’t know if it’s because of T’s crazy underbite that he gets this, but I [...]

The Impact a Photoshoot Can Have

susan sabo — Wed, 08 May 2013 20:29:29 +0000

Remember the original smalls? Buzz, Gracie & Lola? If you’ve known me from Flickr, you know them well. Knuckleheads, all of them. Totally wild and untrained, but man, we were a tight pack. Several years ago, before I started shooting even as a hobby, I had a professional portrait done with the smalls, by Amanda [...]

Inspired

susan sabo — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:50:21 +0000

I’ve been in a bit of a funk for awhile; Mr. Susan has been travelling a lot and the dogs and my only company are two beasties who adore me but don’t get my jokes. I love the Vatos, you know I do, but sometimes I find myself missing that place out there, that world. [...]

The Day Jack Had a Revolutionary Idea

susan sabo — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 23:29:49 +0000

I’m not really crazy about printed backdrops; I prefer plain seamless or location for real scenery and texture. But a couple of years ago I ordered this backdrop, it was on Photo Pie’s website by mistake, and it originally had Chairman Mao in it. I asked them if I could get it with not so [...]
