HandsOff and His Dogs - Male
Sunnyvale, Santa Clara County, California, USA
Size: 1850 mm
I am with my dogs virtually all of the time. Sonia, to the left, and Ivy, to the right. I hope that explains the problems with a lot of my photos. Have you ever tried doing insect macros with two dogs on a leash, one of which always wants to see what I am looking at, and the other using my distraction to get into trouble!

This is actually a portrait of me with my camera in front of portraits of the dogs that I had printed out.

impressed
this lasting image will definitely make me identify your catch more zealously

 
Thanks, v!
A typical macro attempt might have Ivy the Basenji jumping into the bush with the insect fleeing for safety, and Sonia the American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull) seeing an open car door, hops right in, assuring the car's owner that she is a great travel companion and they will have a splendid time together.

Truly unique; thanks for posting.
After reading about the dogs, I can't fault your photos in any way. But what do you do with them when you climb on the roof of your vehicle? Oh BTW, nice product placement, but Nabisco might pay better if you'd flop the sho.

 
That would be a nice touch...
This is actually the center crop of a dish shaped mirror reflection, the dish on the floor, and myself sitting, or seated. It would come of better if I fixed the orientation, or just removed the object entirely.

 
I did it!
Thanks for the suggestion!

As for the dogs...I just say, 'Wanna go for a ride?' And once they are out of the way, I can ascent to the luggage rack, or the upper deck as I prefer to call it!
