Thank you, Gloria.
I'll confess. I am a professional photographer. That's part of what
I do for a living. However, I also take a lot of memory photos of my
Chihuahuas just for fun, too. Plus photos of the world around
me. Photography can be just fun. It doesn't always have to be serious.
I really can sympathize about your not being to squat. Indeed that
can make doing photography more difficult. A while back, I injured
both my knees very badly and could hardly move; let alone squat. I
was in physical rehab for months & still have to be careful of what I
do. One wrong move could make the old injury flare up again, & I
wouldn't be able to do my job. I have a bad shoulder, too. That
came from repeatedly carrying a lot of heavy camera
equipment http://www.pbase.com/britestar/image/56702811 over the
years. Oh well. We just live with the problems we have, but still
manage to live & enjoy life to the fullest. Do you have a camera
with IS? That would help with the camera shake.
Is those your photos on the Home Page?
I love seeing the photography of others. Plus I especially love
seeing animal pictures.
I forgot to mention in my intro that I've been a Chihuahua show
breeder for about 30 years. I started when I was just 17. However,
I've never bred dogs in quantity. Quality with health and soundness
was my goal. My very limited Chihuahua breeding program has produced
that. Lately I've been too busy with my work to be able to take care
of puppies (a full time job); so I haven't had a new litter in a
couple of years or so. I've shown and titled my Chihuahuas in both
Conformation and Obedience. I've also done Agility and Rally. But
all that takes time. Therefore, I've been out of the show rings for
a couple of years now. This means my furkids currently only model
PLUS live life as beloved family members. Being loved is the main
purpose of all Chihuahuas.

Oh, Liz, what lovely photographs! I am an amateur photographer and
have hundreds, if not thousands, of photos of the animals in my
life. Now, I can't squat, and sometimes my hand shakes, so the
quality of my photos is not as good as it used to be. I look forward
to seeing more of your photos.
Gloria
