Re: PAW - Tanja
Hi! wb (Tanja wasn't really a willing subject, but suffered in silence, for my art) Art demands sacrifices as old saying roughly translated by me goes... Without really knowing what does it mean exactly cheesy in this context I suppose I should say that I really like this one. You know, this image belongs to great many others that I saw on PAW and on PUG that are both good and irreproducible by me... Therefore I am taking this one as a lesson. Thanks! Boris P.S. If you'd like please define cheesy, but please do it off-list. Thanks in advance.
PAW - Tanja
I was in two minds whether to put this up. I know it's a bit cheesy but I restrained myself from going completely over the top. http://www.muddypawz.net/dog_port/dp_00019.htm There is some background to this shot (besides the black velour...;-) ). I had been booked to take a portrait of a lady's Shih-tzu and the resulting picture would be given as a present for her 9 yr old daughter's birthday. She then told me about a picture a friend had e-mailed her of a similar dog complete with tiara and said she liked the idea of glam. I mentally cringed, but hey - it's work! I then went away and grabbed a couple of dogs and started experimenting with stuff and this is what I came up with. Didn't get to use the set-up with the Shih-tzu in the end as the [EMAIL PROTECTED] thing wouldn't sit still. And it peed on my backdrop. :-( Wendy (Tanja wasn't really a willing subject, but suffered in silence, for my art) Wendy Beard, Ottawa, Canada http://www.beard-redfern.com

Re: PAW - Tanja
I like it ;-)) Forwarded the link to a couple of friends, too. However, I like this one even more: http://www.muddypawz.net/dog_port/dp_0018.htm wendy beard wrote: I was in two minds whether to put this up.

RE: PAW - Tanja
Wendy, I am so not into dog portraits, but you do them well. The lighting and saturation of this shot is beautiful. It is incredibly sharp, and the black backdrop (even with doggy pee! lol) contrasts really nicely with the reds. Tanja has a lovely expression too. As I said, doggy portraits aren't really my thing, but I do like this one. BTW, I love your model's name! My name is actually Tanja! I much prefer it over boring old Tanya (even though they are pronounced the same), but most Aussies are bordering on being illiterate (well, that is a major exaggeration and generalisation, but you know what i mean! lol) and I get SO sick of trying to spell it for people and then having people pronounce it incorrectly when it is on paper that I just use plain Tanya. Tanja is much more exotic though... ;-) tan. -Original Message- From: wendy beard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 25 February 2004 6:04 AM To: pentax-discuss Subject: PAW - Tanja I was in two minds whether to put this up.
