I wish I had the talent to do it on a regular basis. Though after my freebie Bulldog shoot a couple of people have asked me to take photo's of their pets. Just waiting for the right weather one weekend and said I'll pop and do theirs. If I can get some good photo's from it maybe their friends will pay for it with theirs.
I didn't ask anything for the Bulldog photo's but I got a little something which was nice and fed me for the week.

LOL cool shed Bob 
Sometimes it can be hard to remember that i love my photography and recently had a big challenge as since Lupo died i have found it very hard to carry on with my photos as so many of them were of him and he was the reason i got a digital camera in the first place and when i am out taking photos of other peoples dogs, it just isn't the same anymore.
But i do love doing it and when people see their dogs photos, and even when i was out doing the track day photos at the weekend, the reactions from people is brilliant and hence i want to keep doing it and snap out of my slump that i am in at the moment.
