PHOTOGRAPHER TOURS SHELTERS TO HELP DOGS GET ADOPTED - “Our mission is to provide shelter staff and volunteers with the resources to successfully groom and photograph shelter pets, helping give them the second chance they deserve.”
The One Picture Saves a Life initiative teaches animal shelters how to groom and photograph the shelter animals to present them in the best light (probably both literally and figuratively) for adoption. Photographer Seth Casteel is currently touring various shelters in the U.S. to put on workshops. You may be familiar with Casteel’s Underwater Dogs series. The photos above are examples of how different the dogs look depending on how they are presented.
In addition to Casteel, John Paul Pet, The Animal Rescue Site, GreaterGood.org, and the Petfinder Foundation are all partners in this endeavor. Click here to learn more about One Picture Saves a Life. You can also donate to this cause by clicking here. (Photos from One Picture Saves a Life)

Fitspiration: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The truth is: There are different kinds of fitspiration. There are different approaches that all call themselves the same thing. And a common mistake that people make is not distinguishing between them. Because not all fitspo is bad. But some of it actually inspires more unhealthy habits than healthy ones. So be media literate and body-positive enough to know what you’re doing and why.“…And at the end of the day, body obsession is bad news.”
posting this because I have friends who are obsessed with hating their bodies and masking it with “health.”

I’m not going to try to compare art to science. No one should be asked to. It seems clear to me that both have an incalculable value, but unfortunately, not everyone agrees. So, because you asked, here are some personal thoughts about why art is important. (And for reference, here is the post about storytelling

And then they start moving and saying:
We are the Muses
Goddesses of the arts
And proclaimers of heroes
Heroes like Hercules
Honey, you mean Hunkules!
I’d like to make some sweet music of it
Our story actually begins long before Hercules
Many eons ago…

I went to visit my dressage trainer since I’m home for a few days at the barn she now manages in addition to giving lessons at the barn in Boca, and I’m glad I brought my camera with me because I got some good pictures. The Gypsy Vanners, Razzle Dazzle and Maxwell, were so sweet. And Ali, the grey Arabian, is looking good in retirement. The barn cat was pretty cool, too.

My roommate’s cat is just gorgeous. When I get some free time I’d love to paint him!
Those things that you put off, but they get worse the longer you put them off, but then that makes you put them off even longer. Why does life work like this.
