rubicat design and photography

Here I try to post photos regularly in order to develop my photography intuition and get feedback on my work.
Of course, occasional dry spells are mandated by travel/crazy schedule/what-have-you. Enjoy what is here, and feel free to request subjects if you have specific interests.

My photography is casual, and does not center around any particular themes. Animals are my favourite subjects, but really, I shoot whatever strikes my fancy...

I have been kitty-sitting for the past three weeks. . .
Claudia has chronic asthma and needs medication twice daily.
They weren't very happy about being photographed, but
I wanted to give something to their mum when she returns home.

Christening on the beach. Sunday, 20 July.

I have updated my design portfolio today. The photography portfolio update is next; I hope to have that done by the end of the month. If you have any feedback, I'm always happy to hear opinions on my work.

Tracy has a vast collection of penguins, and I've come to see their charm. I especially love how graceful they become in the water; they do, in fact, "fly."

St. Martin, 2006.

I intend to feature both design and photography projects in this blog; it will become more of a general rubicat blog than "just" a photoblog. Of course, photos are more interesting to view, so I'll still try to get photos posted fairly regularly...

Strong, confident, and outspoken, Natalie allowed herself a few moments of vulnerability in front of the camera for a portrait session.

A family portrait commission, with two American Eskimos. Kiska, the smaller of the two, is an elderpup, so there is a somber undertone to her portrait. She's frail, but sparky!

Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

From February 2007, at SeaWorld in Florida. Sea Dragon.
I've been slowly going through our travel photos from 2006 and 2007, because I never organized and uploaded them into my online album. Eep!

Photographing Scarlett today reminded me a lot of my mother's Cocker Spaniel, Charlotte. This is an old photo I took of Charlotte before her health declined (she ended up with a tumor). She lived to 17, a ripe old age for a Cocker. She was euthanized on Monday, April 14.
