    How cool is this Boxer??? He wore his life vest like a champ. Apparently he LOOOVES to play frisbee too... he about plowed Bobby and Brad over trying to get the disc every time they would throw it.

    I liked taking pictures of all the dogs during the down time... there were about 5 out at the lake that day... but only three wanted to pose for me though.

    There you have it. When we first got to the lake, Brad went in the boat to shoot while I went up in the boom because he is terrified of heights. Poor thing got so sick riding backwards to shoot. He came back and even went up in the boom so I could do the boat because he was so miserable. You know he was feeling rough on the boat if he was willing to tempt gravity and sit 60 feet in the air. You should have seen his face. Poor boy. We had a lot of fun though. Thanks guys for inviting us out to capture your mad ski skills!

    Ok so between the gas for the boat, and the rental of that lift thing... and the pay to you guys... that's one expensive shoot!!!! LOL but these pics ROCK! Maybe he can submit them to a sports mag or something... :P

    Thanks Jess... this was an awesome shoot to be a part of. So much fun! Maybe next time underwater gear so I can really get out there in the action!!!

    Hey Adrian... Brad loves having people support his anti-heights decisions... considering I give him a hard time about it. ;)

    dude, awesome shots! the crane?! the tricks?! the dogs?! oh my!

    looks like this was your first action shoot, or whatever- besides my rollerblading shoot from oh- what, 8-9 years ago!? =D

    i am thoroughly impressed with the ski skills- no one lost their shorts a la kevin james' "sweat the small stuff" ("oh, nope...i found my shorts, they were on the inside!")?

    i'm quite the fan of the shot of the dog with the green tennis ball. good times.

    you guys have the best blogs ever, hands down.
