I'm not a fan of bulldogs, but I admire your images. Don't stop posting.

Those aren't bulldogs... they are pugs.

But speaking of bulldogs...
Here's my 91 year old grandmothing (who still has a great sense of humor)
doing her impression of a bulldog today at the Thanksgiving dinner
able... -She had brought fake "bubba teeth" with her to the gathering, and
walked in without her uppers...instead replacing them with these things.
-I hope I can still laugh and carry on like that when I'm 91...

Heeeeeeeeeeere's GRANNY!

brother)

I don't get it. At risk of being accused of Bret bashing, I cannot see the
artistic merit in these photos. Unless they were my dogs I cannot see any
reason why I'd pay any more attention than a cursory glance at these snapshots.

Beautifully (auto)exposed and (auto)focussed though they are, and nicely
framed. What is so great though?

I know the horses for courses argument, but for the same reason I don't want
to see a commercial photographer's thousand pictures of moodily lit toasters,
I can't find any reason to look at it other than curiosity when the link is
posted.

Is there a narrative that accompanies the image, as it sure doesn't create one
of its own.

Sorry, Bret, I really do like some of your images, even if you do attribute
all the skill to the 20D. But some, like this, are really just perfectly
focused and exposed snapshots.

I think it time you loosen up and take life less seriously and enjoy it.
They are fun shots that Bret was very successful of capturing that exact
moment in time. Who cares about "artistic merit" or following the "rules"
for a "perfect" picture? The first one surely made you laugh?

Perhaps. Maybe I turn up at work in the morning and take the frustration of
rush-hour traffic out on people in here. I can't see them.

How about a hound with dentures? Do you think that would be funny? If so,
try this.

Yeah OK. Technically a hound without dentures ;-)

It's all about the moment and nothing else really matters.

Fair enough.

ROTFL Thanks Mark. And thank Granny, too.

Cheers,

Perhaps I was merely attempting to show off the 20D's awesome ability
to autofocus and autoexpose? The first shot ("What's Up?") was a
particularly difficult exposure situation with dark shade mixed with
bright sunlight.
