Today our ever more irrelevant Arizona Republic demonstrated again that it is clueless about what over 1,100 daily readers of BloodhoundBlog.com know, which is… here on BHB you will find some of the finest weblog writing by real estate professionals available anywhere in the English speaking world. With the addition of so many fine writers with awesome credentials, since Greg and I started this site almost a year ago, I’ll admit that I feel outclassed. There’s really not much for me to deliver that teaches and informs and entertains like what our other illustrious contributors give us. But — Tom Johnson from Houston has given me an opportunity to show off my expertise…
In a comment on Teri’s post, “How Much Is That Doggie In The Window,” Tom talks about his dogs, Sophie and Duke, and asks
If I could figure out how to photograph them together, we could go for the all sizes, all families type thing. Suggestions?
Oooh, oooh, I can answer that! Take lots and lots of pictures! I know what I’m talking about! For our December 2000 holiday card I wanted to include our entire family, even those with fur or feathers, in the family photo. So I recruited my sister Terry, and she managed to shoot a perfect portrait. Took her only 40 shots to get it. Here are 16 of those pictures:
Fortinbras the Cockatiel and Gwen the Gerbil, alas, met the fate of animals who decide to escape the cages that protected them from their bigger sisters and brothers. And Charley, the regal Akita mix who Greg’s sitting on, and Peritas, the black Lab puppy with the bubblegum tongue who’s sitting next to me, were the ill-fated dogs Greg talks about in his comment on Teri’s post, whose loss led us to Odysseus. My heart still aches over that loss. In fact, you’ll notice, the sadness has been so profound, that it turned me blonde!

Cathleen: Thanks-will share results when mission is accomplished. Teri says I need a cute kid to complete the mission. About 16 years ago, I had one around here somewhere. It’s not the legs that go first…

Ah, come on, Cath! The only section worth reading is the Sports page in the Republic. The only reason people still read that is because Jeff, Morgan and I haven’t unleashed our pennant analyses, yet.
I’ll stack up your photography tips against any photography editor Gannett Corp throws at us. We’ll lick ’em with both hands tied behind our back.

A very charming family photo- Ya gotta smile when you see this.
Tom- I didn’t say it had to be your cute kid. 🙂 My own left the building shortly after yours did; only to be promptly replaced by gorgeous kids, but that’s not the same thing.
