digital dog

I was downloading recent photos from my camera earlier today — getting set to work on a non-fiction book proposal I’m trying to wrap up — when I came across this curious image:




I’d forgotten about this. In late October, I’d gotten the idea to try to photograph myself and my banshee dog, Lakshmi, using the digital camera’s timer. She wouldn’t stay still, and I guess I’d been trying to wrangle her. This was the best shot I got.

Osiris happily poses for photos, and Journey was quite the diva whenever I’d pull out the camera. Apparently Lakshmi is more interested in sticking her nose up against the digital camera's flashing light than having her picture taken.
