Dukaki Party 2010

Ever attended a cat party? Well this was my first one and it happened to be the party of the very awesome Duke Orange. He is a celebrity in the social media space with a twitter account, facebook page, tumblr blog and even a formspring account to cater to questions about his Bao (steamed bun) obsessions. During the lead up to his party, he invited his fans (aka Dukaki which means duke’s kaki’s where kaki means follower) to donate to the Cat Welfare’s Society’s (CWS)Spay day fund. The reason why was because Duke was found via CWS

Full event photos are at the facebook page

The pre-event donations hit $1.7k!. Their ears are tipped to show that they have been sterilized There was also some fund raisers and auctions during the event , we are still awaiting for duke to announce the amounts!

Here you see the list of potential names he was supposed to be called. Orange slut is my fav

The handsome boy in the fur

I had loads of fun and all for a good cause too! Hope you enjoyed the photos

Romeo and Juliet

Not quite the love affair you would have predicted here. This party was for Romeo celebrating his second human year of life and for Juliet’s homecoming! While Romeo took an instant liking to the very young Juliet, she was not the shy demure kind and I think he learned that she was not to be taken advantage of

On the left we have romeo.. and on the right… Juliet!

I so love this sign.

Given its a dog party theres bound to be lots of sniffing and greeting.

While there was no music some guests still danced..

And the food smelled AWESOME.. quite so to this fella

And a few quick portraits..

Juliet getting TLC from her mom

And we end with her beautiful profile

I was invited along to a small pre-xmas dinner gathering with some Noah’s Ark Volunteers. Needless to say when there is a gathering of people like that there are bound to be dogs as well. It so happened that the host was fostering 5 mongrel puppies which I spent way too much time trying to photograph instead of enjoying the food

Well puppies being puppies they play alot..

Once they settled down I managed to get a few snaps at last! Here we have September.

Hubert not very happy about having to pose..

Bue he obliged in the end

Spring already has a home waiting for her!

Piccolo was kinda shy but still likes to lie next to people when given the chance.

Best for last? You decide! Here’s Latte in all his puppyness

This ones a little blurry. Apprently 1/350 sec is just not fast enough

All pooped out after that romp in the yard

Its been a crazy weekend for me and I’m looking forward to the upcoming holidays! I’ll be making one more post before the break so stay tuned Hope this post helped satisfy your puppy cravings.

All that Jazz…

I had the pleasure of covering the birthday party celebrations for Coco, Prince and Trixie, 3 lovely shelties belonging to Jazzmine of APAWZ It was a little crazy with the large number of shelties in the place and I guess only the ‘parents’ would have been able to recognize thier own kids I certianly had a hard time differentiating them through the viewfinder. Click all photos to enlarge!

Lucky for me my job was made easier by Jazz cause the 2 birthday girls had the prettiest collars! Heres coco in her birthday best

And of course whats a birthday without a cake? Durian based cream that was totally dog friendly!

Looks like someone couldn’t wait for a try

Prince the birthday boy enjoying his cake

And now some portraits to round it off..

And of course the obligatory group shot of her full ‘family’ Thanks to her obedience training this photo took less than 5 minutes to take!

Lastly my favorite out-take

Hope the dogs and humans had as much fun as I did!

Valentines with Holly part 1

nick — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 04:11:52 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of covering another dog party over Valentine’s Day for an adorable dachie called Holly. As her mom is a dedicated volunteer of Noah’s Ark CARES , she requested that all presents be made as donations to the organization so guests could have fun and do a good deed too What her mom was not aware of though was that her friends had contacted me also and were planning on giving her a surprise present and asked me to do an album for her and her dogs.

I’m happy to report she was clueless until we sprung it on her The rest of this blog will be dedicated to the other furry happenings at the party

Picture intensive so click the link below for the full post. It was a very hot day but the dogs certainly had a fun time socializing and sniffing around! I rented a 35/1.4 for the event just too see if its suitable for my shooting style (and to fully utilize the full frame sensor!) Here are quick snaps of some of the guests whom you might recognize from an earlier post

One special guest was a dog called Batman who is born with a nervous disorder that leaves him more or less unable to coordinate his limb movement. The end result is that he moves around by wiggling his body around. His mom took care of him as a puppy and he is now 4. Tremendous amount of dedication there.

Here we have Goldie a very senoir dog who is almost blind. He still manged to have some fun though he liked to stake out the water bowl

And here he is demonstrating the wonderful bokeh of the 35/1.4 @1.8

And whats a party without food? Here is the spread of food for the dogs(except the cupcakes at the top) kindly sponsored by US Doggie Bakery. They specialize in making human-type food thats safe for your dogs to eat. Its also probably wayy healthier than commercial kibble since there are no preservatives or additives.

And of course a pink cake for the birthday girl

As you can see holly’s mom was so not expecting the double celebration.

That lady feeding holly happens to be the boss of US Doggie Bakery Holly is just interesting in that biscuit..

Thats the end of part 1 Part 2 will be up tomorrow !
