Here's what he said in 1916 and it still is relevant today and always will be no doubt..."<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">The project began when Hill was mistakenly informed that the original Stonehenge had been used as a sacrificial site. He thus constructed his replica as a reminder that "humanity is still being sacrificed to the god of war."</span><br />

Yes it's true. It's a slippery slope. First a week goes by simply because there's no time. Then another. And then it seems too complicated. And finally, it becomes monumental. I'm talkin "blog entry paralysis". Well, I'm breakin the cycle. Yup, breakin it with an image that I find to be interesting. It's of Tika and Koko, two shepherds on a bed in very soft focus. Some might even say out of focus. Some might even say "it's the Twillight Zone".Bev Sparkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13234343830960168092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516904171682361489.post-65144835029270281032010-08-26T23:28:00.000-07:002010-08-26T23:28:11.273-07:00Has She Gone Plum Logo?Trying to come up with a new logo for dogphotography.com So being a literal type of gal, I thought I would start with a dog and photography. Well then I got a little crazy and replaced a camera for the photography part (thinking outside the ol box camera). And then I really went crazy...see what I mean?<br />

She is pain free, has a good prognosis, and is full of piss and vinegar. Her mom, Tina, thinks Matilda now sports Lyle Lovett's sneer when she smiles.</div><div><br />

I put together this book for a book contest (along with the help of the impeccable taste of Ms. Hayes who has that design flair covered). The book takes a bit to down load and if the pages are white, that means the photo did not load yet. Let me know what you think!<br />

Rudy Roy was his name. Everything I know about dog I learned from him. He found us on July 4th 1995. We kept him knowing who he belonged to but not wanting to return him for ethical reasons. We became fugitives from the law. Within a month, we moved from a condo to a house. Two years later I became a dog photographer. So here's to Mr. Rudy, my dog poet, my red dog, my Blaze. I loved that dog.<br />
