"Let's make an important distinction right from the start: to me, the most important function of photographing our canine adventures is to document and chronicle the building of that unbreakable bond we share with our dogs. It is to record those unfiltered moments for posterity, and to have a heartwarming memento to look back on when we're old and gray, swimming in the nostalgia of the good ol' days with our good ol' pup.

What I mean to say is: it's not just about the photo quality, it's not just about edifying our Instagram or becoming an influencer, it's not just about providing proof of our unfolding odyssey in fellowship with our best friend as we share another tumultuous tale of tail-waggery and haphazard voyaging at the roundtable of the campfire. And if you become skilled enough to monetize your photography, always remember that the money only represents what we truly value: the bond we share with our dogs and the stories on which that bond was built.

After traveling the world with Ol’ Thunder-dog for the last 15 years, my only regret is that I wasn’t more interested nor skilled in photography during those days. Now, looking back on our innumerable escapades over the years, I wish I had more photos to adorn my memories of those unforgettable moments."
