Wouldn’t I just love to be a full time professional dog photographer!? They all have such individual personalities and quirks – as I’m all too often reminded with my own, but this is a shot I have to share.

Sweet little elderly Lottie having a quiet moment under textile artist Kate Jenkin’s knitting yesterday. Nice and soft amongst the wool and next to her mum – who can blame her for curling up there.

I was in the middle of photographing some of Kate’s brilliant new artwork when I saw this.. possibly the cutest dog photo opportunity of all time. Thanks for not moving till I had time to capture the moment Lottie. It’s never easy capturing ‘the’ shot with pets because as soon as you move they do too. This is a square crop of the original landscape image which I may just enter into the KC Dog Photography competition next Spring!

Don’t pets just bring such a heart warming ray of sunshine into our lives.. love them.

Keep up to date with Kate’s new work on her website. Be sure to check out her tinned ‘Pineapple Hunk’! www.katejenkinsstudio.co.uk

About this blog

The vast majority of posts in this blog are about quirky & eccentric competitions & festivals. I started it in 2006 in France with a competition I’ll never forget. Where contestants battle it out to become the World Champion Pig Squeeler, or ‘Cri du Cochon’. I had little knowledge back then of quite how far my pursuit of these kind of events would lead me. I’ve travelled all over Britain (and occasionally further afield) to capture our curiosities and quirks. There’s nothing uniquely eccentric about the British, you’ll find people all over the world up to all sorts of weird and wonderful activities, but we do have a remarkable capacity to embrace the madness. ‘A Brit Different’ is the book that was born from it, my labour of love! So what next? There’s always something interesting going on, so watch this space, only time will tell!
