Pho-dog-raphy

It's not something I'm proud of. I'm a "pho-dog-rapher." I was recently forced by my kind-hearted girlfriend and business manager Kyoko to photograph a dog fashion show. This involved shooting pictures of all kinds of dogs dressed in rather unflattering aloha wear. I consider any form of dog attire to be animal abuse. Just let them be dogs, for the love of Dog!

Now, all joking aside, this was a benefit for the non-profit dog rescue organization Hawaii Dog Foundation, where Kyoko volunteers. Hawaii Dog Foundation gives homeless dogs a second chance by rescuing them, and finding new homes and better lives for them.

The fashion show actually had a runway, a

doggie clothing designer, and guest celebrities who paraded their

dogs. One rather feisty bull terrier in a red mu'u mu'u had personal problems with a few of the other dogs, and had a few shortlived scraps behind the stage. The star of the show was a tiny little rat-like dog that was born with only two legs. He managed to walk down the runway on its hind legs to thunderous applause from the audience. Awfully cute.

Posted are some pictures from my booming pho-dog-raphy career.
