Lily (and Kevin) - a photo on Flickriver

Lily (and Kevin)

A beautiful dog to make a most beautiful portrait, at least that's what I was thinking as I approached these two. It's rather a challenge for Kevin to keep up with Lily's active lifestyle, and I knew when I saw the two of them hanging out on State Street that I had to get a picture. While Lily seems like a big girl, she is surprisingly only one and a half years old, requiring at least 50 pounds of food a month she is constantly growing. Often times Kevin finds it hard to walk her on State because of the amount of people and different things she shouldn't put in her mouth, but today she was lucky even in colder then usual temps for October. Kevin informed me that Lily is very much a people person, and had only growled at one person during their excursion today. Lily was getting rather antsy on her pedestal and was ready for more walking, so I asked Kevin if I could take a picture for my (608)strangers project.

He agreed and acknowledged that my friend Ryan had already snapped pictures of Lily. Small world, but it is Madison so in reality it seems I find someone who knows someone! To fit in for the 100 strangers I asked Ryan to get in the frame as well. This was much simpler on both including him for the project as a stranger, as well as Lily really wasn't too cooperative for pictures. We parted ways a little less of strangers then we were before, and not long after separating I got a text message from Ryan. Expressing that he heard I was taking pictures of his strangers, such is life sometimes just quite strange!
