Anytime is a good time for a dog party

The birthday boys.

Buffy the agility course slayer. 

Last Saturday, Lara and I attended our first dog birthday party for Kiki and Nemo organized by Anytime K9.  We thought it might rain but it turned out to be a beautiful day.  It was quite a well attended little fete, that had a dog agility course, doggie bags for each guest, and a dog-friendly birthday cake. The added bonus was that the event raised money for the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. We had a lot of fun photographing the guests--thanks for inviting us to come out!

Gloria and the puppy

Gloria with the puppy in the town square.

He looks like he has a strong spirit to me.

I photographed this puppy while in a very small town in the jungle. I was really taken with the little girl Gloria, who was mute, and expressed herself by taking me by the hand and making me photograph whatever caught her eye. At one point she led me over to the edge of the town square and pointed to this little guy. Being a dog in Peru is a lot tougher than it is here in DC, so let's all send out wishes that he grows up healthy and strong.

Best,
Gracy

A few pictures from the Peruvian jungle

I recently returned from spending a month taking pictures for a documentary in the Peruvian jungle. I worked with a team of five filmmakers outside of Iquitos and got to experience so many different parts of life down there from hammock naps to shamanic traditions.  Suffice to say that it's an amazing place that can get quite hot at noon and has some of the best fruit juices I've ever tasted. I was also lucky to photograph a few exotic animals as well as meet some lovable dogs who were guarding our hostals. Below are a few photos from our trip to a jungle lodge. I'll be posting more in the days to come so keep checking in.

It's good to be back with you all!

Abrazos,

Gracy 

The three-toed sloth claw...

and face! So beautiful...

I love the curl in this monkey's tail.
