1-12 Eva: "i think that the last nap was a dud"

Dave: Eva, what's up?
Eva: Not me. That last nap really didn't go as well as I had planned.
Dave: Seriously, the last nap? How many are you up to today?
Eva: That was number 4. Do you have any coffee?
Dave: You're a Brittany Spaniel. The on-line articles about you guys says you have boundless energy.
Eva: It's 2015. Haven't you learned we're not supposed to stereotype? Same with 'breed profiling'. It's just not cool.
Dave: Sorry, I was just doing a bit of research.
Eva: That's OK. I forgive you. Now about that coffee?
Dave: There's something else I should tell you about the article.
Eva: What other lies are they spreading?
Dave: It said no coffee for Brittanies.
Eva: If I wasn't so sleepy I'd go on a long tirade about how the internet is full of lies.

---------------------------------

This is part of Eva's 12 month project in 2015, and I've also added it to my Studio 26 assignment on depth of field, as I don't think it would have worked without the shallow depth of field.

-----------------------------

Eva catching a little rest at the top of the stairs. Truth is I was checking out the lighting for a different shot of Bruno descending the stairs. Eva is a better model to test lighting with because of her varied colouring, and the fact that if she lands on my head while I'm lying on the stairs it won't hurt as much as if Bruno did it. She got tired of the test and decided to take a little power nap.

Her ear hair is a little out of control in this shot. When my wife took Eva and Bruno for a grooming, I requested she asked out groomer about trimming the ear hairs as many Brittany spaniel owners do. The groomer said she'd do it, but her ear hair would never grow back as wispy and crazy again. My wife declined citing the fact that Eva is my photo model and that her ear hair is her trade mark.

I married a good one.
