FaceBook serves as a casual means to showcase current work and business interest. In an unobtrusive way I can keep clients & prospects up to date. I also offer tips on WooHooWednesday for hobbyist and those pressed into service without the benefit of professional photography.

Hounds & ugly babies would drive me nuts if thats all I shot. But on special occasions it is a ball. This was just such an occasion with Freddie for Christmas.

This season I had to cover the bases & shoot every family member, including Freddie, for Christmas cards. What a doll. Very well mannered pooch. Only tried to bite me once & that was as I was leaving. He was under his dad's arm & must have thought when I reached to pet him I was going for dad. Very protective. Animals are a lot like little kids. You work for the reaction. You can't simply ask for a smile & tell a joke. You soon become the dancing monkey, squeaking & barking to get "the look". You know, bright eyes, ears up & happy to be there. A few treats help too but you can't overdo that or they get bored. And speaking technically you must have relatively flat light because you never know which way that look is going to happen. And I'm thankful for the economy of digital film. You shoot your butt off. And a huge thumbs up for digital retouching in case you get closed eyes on the only otherwise perfect image. Or you can rearrange items in the image. In fact I juggled the balls to tighten this a little. Shooting for publication I often leave negative space so that art directors can run type over my image. I get bigger play & it becomes a more integrated part of the page design. A win win. Here the negative space works well as a composition element & I too added type to create a card. Next year lets plan ahead and shoot your whole family.

You've heard of wine tours and farm tours. Kentucky has the "Bourbon Trail" . . . and now, South Carolina has a MAYONNAISE TRAIL.

If you're a MAYONNAISE FANATIC, you know Duke's . . . especially if you're in the South. The brand was created by Eugenia Duke in Greenville, South Carolina more than 100 years ago . . . and it has a big loyal following.

Now, Greenville has an "Unofficial Mayo Guide," which includes 20 stops, showcasing mayonnaise in different ways. There are six "snack spots" . . . 14 meal "must-haves" . . . and four historical stops celebrating Duke's.

The trail is a self-guided tour, so you can hit up the featured places whenever you'd like . . . since, you know, 20 mayonnaise dishes is a lot for one day.

The trail also seems open-ended, like the Bourbon Trail. As long as the places offer these dishes, you'll be able to do it . . . so you don't have to cancel your Thanksgiving plans to squeeze in an emergency trip to South Carolina.
