Paying it Forward....

As most of you know, I was deeply moved by the amazing group of dogs and volunteers I met through Greyhound Rescue and Rehabilitation of Cross River, NY. I have decided to run a SPECIAL, specifically for people who have adopted an ex-racing Greyhound. If you simply "book" a session (it can be for a later date) between now, and the end of February, 2010, I will take 25% off of your total purchase, and, will donate that 25% to Greyhound Rescue & Rehab, on your behalf.

Greyhound Haul #2 from Mass....

This is an absolutely amazing group of volunteers. Every single one of them goes above and beyond... the love & dedication they show these dogs is really quite remarkable.

The Art of Greyhound Rescue....

This past weekend I had the privilege of documenting the process of taking ex-racing Greyhounds into a Rescue by NY Greyhound Rescue and Rehab. The Raynham/Taunton, Mass., greyhound track closed down on January 1st, 2010. These 6 beautiful souls, ranging in age from 3 to 5 years old... went through a major right of passage last Saturday, where their old life on the track came to an end, and a new journey began... I felt honored to bear witness to this... cleansing ritual of sorts... or, that's at least where I chose to put my focus for the sake of this album, as it seemed totally appropriate. Oh.... and BTW, there is a chance that some of these pics might be shown on a major news channel!
