35mm Black and White Dogs

A long time ago I picked up a Minolta camera from a thrift store, just because I liked the vintage strap. Little did I know that I’d fall in love with it, and end up using it for a photography class later. I let it collect dust for two or three years though because the battery died, but last month I finally remembered to pick one up from Dodd Camera and I was back in business. Oh how I love this camera, I don’t know why I didn’t get a battery sooner! I had film left over in it from said photography class so I didn’t know how it would turn out because it was most likely expired film. I took it out shooting for a family excursion when Sonny came home!
Sonny is Charmin(the family dog)’s son! Mom “pimped him out” as she likes to say haha, and found him a nice lady lab on the internet. One thing led to another of course and just in time for the christmas season a litter was born! Mom opted for pick of the litter of course, because Charmin is such a wonderful dog they wanted his next of kin, and Sonny(named because he is Charmin’s son, and his color is sunny) was the lucky guy.
It was one of those nice sunny warm December days, and we all went for a walk out on my uncle’s land which is basically in the middle of nowhere. I brought my camera along and quickly powered though the whole reel. 
These are my favorite shots:

Trick-or-Treating with Duke!


Before
















Even Charmin got dressed up! :)

After Hurricane Sandy caused Beggar's Night to be pushed back from the 30th to the 1st, I had to do some hard negotiating/begging of my own in order to insure Jared and I could have the evening off to take Duke out. Once Jared got off work at 4, we rushed off to my parent's house, where my wonderful mom had made lasagna(my favorite) and apple pie(also my favorite). We ate and got ready, then Duke's friend arrived and we were ready to go!

We had a lot of fun. Lots of little kids loved Jared's costume. We even found a little Mario AND a little toad :) Too cute. I wore my bear suit to keep warm, but it was still pretty cold. We got filmed for something, but I have no idea what... some guy in a wizard outfit asked us what we were and gave us candy, and it was filmed lol. Weird, but okay.
