They make a cute couple don’t you think? Jane Simmons-Moake, of Houston, makes the trip to Dallas almost every week to compete in various dog shows and agility competitions. On this Saturday, her golden retriever, Susie, won the coveted seventh competition to reach Mach-7 status.
I found out later that Susie is famous…well kinda. Her grandmother was famous. I’m talking movies and stuff. I can’t tell you which movies, but I swear I was impressed just hearing the rumors. Jane is also famous. She is an all-star dog trainer and winner of many national competitions. You can checkout her company here.
Dog shows are fun. I wish I wasn’t on a deadline so I could photo more dog people. I also want a dog. A lab I think.

A few changes have been made.
1. A new blog name. Love it? Hate it? Don’t care? I still giggle, so really, who cares what you think?
2. I have updated the website with a few new photos. Many of which have been on the blog. A couple which have not. Regardless, take a look. If for nothing else, at least do it to help boost my ego when I look at the web stats.

Here are two recent photos. One is from a recent trip through Mexico on the last passenger train still running. I am hoping the story with make it into publication. I am still waiting to finalize the deal. Soon I will be able to share the photos with you.
The other is my girlfriend’s father. He is a retired tailor, who now tends to his land filled with olive trees, lime trees, and a few plums. Nice place to have family.
I like them. I kinda wish I was a bird. I can’t help but shoot them. It reminds me that nature does exist.
All I have to do is earn some wings and I can fly as well. Earn? Yeah. Maybe after I die I will just get a pair of wings. I just have to prove I want them.
Does the desire to travel count as proof that I want to fly? Probably not. Wings are awarded to those creatures that necessitate the means to move from one land to another far away land just to survive changes in their habitat. Desire is not enough.
I should probably find a reason better than desire. It’s in there somewhere.
