Sometimes creative projects occur to us as an after thought and then things take on a life of their own. So it was with A Girl and Her Pup. I never intended for the first few images of my youngest daughter and Monty, our new puppy, to morph into a series, but it felt like a good thing.

It turns out it was. I have had a lot of fun creating the series and stretching my creativity. I have also received many compliments and lots of enthusiasm for the series from readers. Thank you.

I attempted to create a mix of images representing the relationship between my daughter and Monty from humorous to touching, some straight from my iPhone to others made with my D700 and worked in Photoshop, some spontaneous images and some pre-planned. Ironically, (maybe speaking to the traits of humanity and the unpredictability and independence of children in general) Monty has gotten easier to photograph as he has been trained, while my daughter has become more resistant at times as she has gotten older and more independent forcing me into a more documentary style of photography.

Every road ends somewhere though. On July 3rd Monty will be a year old and I've decided that I'll end A Girl and Her Pup (GaHP) then. At that time I will have documented roughly a year of my daughter and Monty's growth and relationship in weekly clips; a great feeling and images I'll treasure in the future.

July 3rd is still 15 weeks away at this writing, so that means I can still create and you can still anticipate 15 more GaHP images. Following that? I don't know. I'll definitely put the series into book form. It would be great get a large-scale print with a sequential grid of all the images framed for my daughter's wall, but I think the individual images would be too small to view. Regardless, you can fully expect to see the GaHP duo appearing in more of my work. I've put too much time into training them to just drop them.
