I think that he did a wonderful job!

here is a challenge for him........I'd like to see him take a picture of something old....and it cant be a person. BUT I want him to lay down on his belly and look UP to take the pic.

If it's ok with you, and he is interested, I'll give him challenges geared to helping him grow his eye.

RTG has a good idea there...I took a photo class once and had to lie on my back for taking photos in a bathroom...back in those days we had the sink with the drain showing and got a great shot of a drop of water just coming off it from condensation...bet B would go great with assignments from RTG...I may do them too...LOL.

That sounds like a wonderful idea. Do you just want me to post them in my journal or start a thread in hobbies?

I have spent most of this evening in the Emergency Room of the local hospital.

My mom and I went for a walk down the road early this evening and when we got to one house a German Shepard came rushing out. The owners didn't move but yelled at it twice. It kept coming. We stopped and faced the threat head on. It kept coming. A young dog...more playful anxiety than true aggression. It jumped on my mom first and she put her forearms out to stop it and spun around and within seconds it was moving to jumping on me. My right arm got pretty scraped / scratched up but then mom turned around and I saw the blood pouring off her face. She was in shock and at the sight of blood the owners finally came to get the dog away from us. Mom needed stitches and will probably look like the victim of domestic violence tomorrow but we're both ok. Thank goodness it wasn't worse. I'm not taking a walk without a club / stick in my hand ever again.

I'll start a thread in hobbies, so that others can follow along, too if they would like. I'll call the thread "Photography~growing your eye challenges"

People can be so irresponsible with their dogs. I am so glad that the two of you are ok. I'd make double sure that the owners of that dog got the medical bills.

I'm glad to hear you guys are okay. Please don't be angry at the dog, but his owners for not teaching him to NOT jump on people he doesn't know. I'm sure he didn't mean it.

On a side note, I suddenly have the urge to buy B a digital camera.

Glad you're ok other than cosmetic / emotional issues. Had the dog been vaccinated?

I was bitten / attacked as a kid and the dog hadn't been...it had to be destroyed / sent to the state lab for testing so they'd know how to 'treat' me.
