Tickle Your Fancy – Our Latest New Section – #3
Welcome back to our third post in our new section ‘Tickle Your Fancy’. We launched this three weeks’ ago and it’s already becoming very popular. ‘Tickle Your Fancy’ includes a round-up of five links to articles from around the internet that have specifically interested us during the course of the week. Ones that we feel are relevant to your interest in photography and art.

Take a look at our selections for this weekends reading session, hope you enjoy these…

Joanne,
While doing photography work for the USAF, i was lucky enough to do both studio and field work photos of these dogs and their handlers. The animals come back shell shocked. It is a very difficult task for them. Hugging the dogs a lot by their handlers gets them back into their normal doggie behavior.
Be well
Laurence
