Happy Shiba!

July 4th Weekend :: Part I
Long weekends are great because of 2 things: 1) you can spend more time with your loved ones; 2) there is a short week after the long weekend.
As always, we started our weekend with a trip to Prospect Park. The weather in NY really is perfect right now -- in the morning the air is cool and the skies are clear. Shio, who got his undercoat stripped by a groomer for the first time this past week, is especially enjoying the summer now that he is not wearing his winter coat.
I have been really enjoying the photographic opportunities with the warm morning light. Having gone to Iceland recently with the wonderful McLellans, I have rediscovered the fun of photographing everyday things. On top of that, they taught me a lot of new tricks, both in terms of taking the photos and in post-processing. If you are looking for wedding photographers, stop the search and check them out! They are Shio approved!
The reason why I stopped using my GF1 is because I found it difficult to take good photos of Shio given the need for quick autofocus and continuous shutter. I would never have been able to stitch together something like this with the GF1:
Have a good long weekend everybody!

Prospect Park: The Best Dog Park in New York?
We decided to explore Prospect Park today, and boy was it fantastic!
The neighborhood is lovely -- so lovely in fact that we even want to move there!
As for Shio -- the photos speak for themselves...
