Tigger’s 1st Monday photo installment

I was so happy when Tigger decided to contribute to the blog, especially when he chose to do it with photography.  I think seeing photos through a child’s eyes is always so meaningful and powerful.  We went on a photo “safari” to various places in our current home of Cuenca, Ecuador, and after reviewing his various shots he decided on this photo he took of our housemate’s dog Lukey.  And I’ll have you know this was without any help or advice from me.  Didn’t he do a great job?

  3. Love the photo, what a great photographer!  Catches the personality, has spunk plus nice photo ad with the bone prop…  Tigger, did you plan all that???  🙂

    • He didn’t plan it. It was all a purely candid shot. Not too shabby, eh? 🙂

  4. Tigger, you captured Lukey in a great pose and expression and it’s very crisp and perfect.  You must have realized how all those colors go so well together.  I’m so impressed, you obviously have a talent for photography.  Can’t wait to see more from you.  Keep it up! 🙂

  8. Tigger, how did you get Lukey to look up like that?  Great job.  We have a cat named Lukey — do you think they would get on well together…?

    • Lukey does well with cats so you never know. Thanks for the compliment.

  9. Tigger – you did a great job!  Good angle, and expression and what we artists call, “compositin.” I hope to meet Lukey one day if I come to Cuenca to visit my sister Cameron.

  13. Well done Stevie!  Nice capture of light, as well as the colors of the tile and Lukey’s eye, and the blue toy adds a nice contrast.

  25. What a beautiful dog! Nicely framed, good lighting. Tigger’s absorbing your sense of beauty and framing. So much better than my first few photos mostly involving blurry horses and backlit silhouettes, LOL.

    • Thanks, Connie. One of the things I think is so cool is that I didn’t give him any guidance. Just told him to grab his camera and asked what he wanted to shoot. So that made my dad pride even bigger when I saw what a great shot this was.

  29. WOW.  The eyes are the window to the soul, and you certainly captured a window into this dog’s heart/soul.  I look forward to seeing more of your artwork, for this is truly an art.

  32. I like the photo! And I love the name Lukey for a dog. It makes me think of the sea shanty, Lukey’s Boat.
