Last summer, my friend Cassie Raney, a fine art photographer at the Academy of Art University, spent the break taking photos in our native Oklahoma. Her photos are all shot in natural light, and this one was taken in my back yard near a sailboat in my neighbor’s yard. That’s me in the picture with one of my dogs, Lucy. I hadn’t seen this photo until Spring Break when it was given to me by Miss Raney. The most interesting part of the story is that Lucy ran away over Winter Break while I was home, and she never came back. This was the last picture taken of her, and I just happen to be in it as well. Just a bit of sentiment, also I really like the vintage feel of the composition with the photo mounted on stained wood.
