Has anyone seen the new Pedigree commercial? It’s the one where dogs are in the shelter looking sad while voice over David Duchovny (sp) says something like, “I can sit, I can play fetch… so why am I here?” Well, if that’s not reflection, I do not know what is. When I went to Liberty Humane this weekend, those words kept echoing in my mind. I will spare you ALL of the pictures & just post this one. This is James. He is a pitbull mix available for adoption at Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City, NJ. He is adorable & very sweet.
This next shot is “backstage” at the Snowball 37 show at Maxwell’s in Hoboken. By backstage, I am referring to the downstairs storage area not a fancy green room with a spread of little bread and oversized cold cuts (“This Is Spinal Tap” anyone?). I did not stage this shot. The greathing about always taking pictures is that those around you get used to it eventually and forget you are taking their pictures. This is David Fagan from Snowball 37 reflecting on his upcoming show.
In my attempts to clear room on my hard drive, I accidentally deleted the RAW file for my entry. The original photo was supposed to be the food face but when I saw the image on the screen, the reflection of Babe Ruth was so clear that I forgot about the food face. Babe Ruth was not there & this is not altered. I tried thinking it looked like Johnny Cash, but it really looks alot more like Babe Ruth. What do you think?
I was a slacker last week & did not leave comments on all of the other entries. I apologize. I have been actively researching SXSW for my upcoming trip & working a bunch.

Conni! you done good! My favorite is the one of david, very nice and sharp. The reflection in the plate is coming up a very close second for me though. I love how at first glance it looks like it is upside down but the reflection flips it back the right way.
I also like that you play during dinner. i do too.
It’s Babe Roth with his glove as his ear! Seriously, look at the shape of it. His ear looks like a baseball glove!! Oh, going to dinner with you and Russ at the same time would be an experience!!
I love James. Doug and I got our Pom from a rescue called Pom Posse. Our puppy was from a litter that the neighbors were giving away. I’d never ever get a dog or puppy from anywhere that sells pets for hundreds of dollars. I wish James could be a part of our family. I guess that’s why I think it’s great that Your furry friends get to be part of your images. James does indeed look very reflective.
2nd Shot~Oh I love b/w of people! It’s my favorite medium for candids. You see the soull of them, so much more easily. They can’t hide behind distracting colors. The essence of people is captured. And I like this guy’s reflection of deep thought.
The plate~ Not Johnny Cash.
Pat, I was wondering what was on Babe Ruth’s ear! Awesome… It is a glove.
Russ, let’s play with some food & take some pictures!!
Renee, I am so glad that you got your dog from a rescue. Awesome. I will post more pics of James for you!
Where the hell did Babe Ruth come from? I’m feeling a little creeped out. Also, all three are great shots. Good work.
I am so in love with that green plate I can’t get over it.
Great…

Conni, I did a very special photo essay one weekend while you were gone. You may have seen it, you might not have, but I thought I’d send you the link. It’ll make people think a lot about Pet adoption… Meanwhile, I hope that you are having fun. It sure looks and sounds that way. I wish I could be somewhere warm now. It’s 32 degrees and sleeting!
