Spring 2008

We started the new year with the exciting new ad campaign for DOGS Unlimited showing up in the pubs. The long awaited for website for Sean Derrig’s Erin Kennels (erinkennels.com) went live in mid-March for which we have received great reviews! I travelled to Illinois in November to photograph Sean’s beautiful farm, Rocky Run, his fantastic dogs and horses. What a pleasure and what a blast it was, especially on the last day when Sean took out CH Erin’s Tin Soldier and CH Erin’s Bad River and ran them off horseback. Always a challenge to get the ’real deal’ but those two dogs gave me all the opportunities!

Also in the works is Larry Garner’s APF Dogs website and a new creative for Gerry Sullivan’s Industry Leaders Fund (www.ilfund.com), an exciting new project for Minnesotta grouse trial buddy, Brett Edstrom (The Sporting Table) and a newly revised website for Ard Righ Kennels. We also have several irons in the fire for new clients including an ecommerce site for LeRoux Kitchen located in Portland, Portsmouth and Cape Cod.

Outdoor and bird dog photography continues to be the most important new service TSC is offering it’s clients. Several of my pick photographic images of bird dogs and landscapes will soon be available as high quality archival prints. By early April we will be linked to our new ecom site: Fine Arts Photo Prints!

For recent photography of dogs and landscapes from my 2007 trip to the Manitoba and North Dakota prairies, please visit galleries: Newest and Landscapes+ at Photo Gallery. Watch for new photos from my trip to Illinois coming in April.

And once again, I thank my talented collaborators, Jennifer Morris, Scott Tirrell, Dennis Griggs, Steve Helsley, Daren Worcester and Jennifer Kowtko for their expertise on this past year’s projects.

Happy Spring...finally!!!
