I recently got to meet and photograph Murphy, a 5 year old Irish Wolfhound who is suffering from bone cancer. He is such a regal and impressive dog. I had never met that breed before and I learned a lot about them --- they originally guarded castles and hunted wolves to keep the game safe and unfortunately they do not have very long lives, they only live about 7 years. Murphy was a great poser and I really enjoyed meeting and photographing this gentle giant.
I think that background in the first shot matches the appearance and bearing of his breed. Nice touch.
ReplyDeleteCindi, you did a beautiful job capturing the sweet nature of this gentle giant. I have yet to photograph an Irish Wolfhound, but am still hoping. Great blog. Your work shines!
