It’s attack of the bionic Catordog!

This bionic dog deserves a place in Catordog history.

Check that out. Four prosthetic legs on one pup. And he still likes doing balancing act tricks!

From TYWKIWDBI:

Naki’o is a mixed-breed dog with four prosthetic leg devices. Naki’o lost all four feet to frostbite when he was abandoned as a puppy in a foreclosed home. He now lives in Colorado Springs, happily.

These images come from a dinner at our friends’ house.

I wish you were there.

 

Run — don’t walk — to see Blue Hawaii

On Friday night, I photographed Blue Hawaii for Lost in Concert.

They opened for a band called Purity Ring.

That’s one of my shots above. Watch for more at LiC.

Blue Hawaii were great! They brought  energy. The vocals were strong, and the beats hit hard. When they took the stage, the singer, Raphaelle Standell-Preston, said she recently hurt her back and wouldn’t be able to dance as much, but if we — the collective audience — didn’t mind, dance for her.

Her back didn’t stop her completely. I loved watching her perform and work with whatever gadget she was using to manipulate her voice.

I’d definitely go see this band if I were you.

Here’s a song to whet your whistle.

Kenneth Volpe and Profoto D1 got a bug in their bonnets about on-location Speedlites vs Studio Lights

I have to admit. This video made me laugh a little.

Having a photographer force a message of using studio lights over speedlites is funnier when delivered by someone who isn’t an actor.

The video is a great production, and the photos are wonderful. But the message is so forced that I felt a little assaulted on this one.

Although, the message of knowing architecture and interior design affects how well I light a person in a space impressed me … a lot.

Seen at Fstoppers.

I took these a few weeks ago. Enjoy. 

Finally, poof — I mean — proof of the supernatural

Farts are just the ghosts of the things we eat.

I have no children, therefore no progeny. This dude needs to share.
