This was the image I submitted for Unusual Perspective. However, the judges did not agree and only gave it a Bronze. I was afraid the compositing was too obvious but was the limit of my abilities. In any case I am always glad that I do the assignments because I always learn something from the attempt. I would never have known how interesting it is to see Maggie from the bottom of our pool instead of at the surface. I always think our pets are special and being able to document Maggie's diving abilities only confirms that!
“A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety” -Ansel Adams
When my only child went off to college in 2004, I started taking photography classes. First through Continuing Education, then 2 black and white film classes. After that I joined the Bay Area Photo Club and started learning about digital photography. Since the fall of 2009 I have been involved in animal advocacy and rescue and I also photograph homeless animals for 3 different groups. My husband of 33 years is my biggest supporter, in all ways, and I could not pursue this hobby without him.
