I have spent the past six months or so creating and working on my website for Katherine Carver Photography. I have never created a website before; however, the people at Livebooks have helped me to create a simple and clean-looking website keeping the focus on each image. Also, Sharon Bruno helped me to create my logo that appears on my website (and this blog). It has definitely been a long process and I have learned a lot along the way, and I hope to continue to learn.
Deborah Samuel, fine art photographer and author of Dog and Pup, has been very helpful to me in providing me with feedback on my work and website. Deborah has been very generous with her time, and I am most grateful.
I have spent quite a bit of time editing, creating, and working on each individual image, and I believe that my portfolios are taking shape and my website is coming together. Photography is not static; I hope to continue to grow and create thought provoking images and see where it leads.

The light was so nice this morning that I decided to take some photographs of Biscuit! Biscuit is doing well and he is looking very handsome!
Happy Tuesday!

Happy Monday!
Well, we made it through the hurricane with power. We saw on the news that there were so many places without power and major flooding. Luckily, our sump pump worked well and it is continuing to run continuously today.
Biscuit did a good job during the hurricane. Doug took him outside multiple times yesterday during the storm. However, the very strong winds nearly blew little Biscuit over. These were not good weather conditions conducive for our little Biscuit or anyone for that matter.
On a good note, the hurricane provided time for me to update my website, which is something I have wanted to complete. As a result, new portfolios are now shown on my website! I hope to continually update my website with new material moving forward.
Doug also worked on an art project during the hurricane – more on that in tomorrow’s blog post!
Also, I recently received my new business cards with my new logo/brand, shown immediately below!

This weekend while Biscuit was strolling around the neighborhood for a walk, in an instant before we could put on Biscuit’s leash, Biscuit jetted across the street covered in Belgium bricks as Biscuit spotted a nearby cat. In his attempt to catch this cat, Biscuit, unfortunately, tripped very badly over the curb and he fell quickly on his belly. Biscuit screamed and cried. I picked Biscuit up immediately and he stopped crying. Doug and I sat with him on a bench outside and petted Biscuit. We were quite worried as Biscuit has injured his paw before. For those of you who have met Biscuit, his demeanor is quite docile. However, when Biscuit puts his mind to something, he does not give up, and we think that Biscuit over estimated his fragile and arthritic legs and paws in his attempt to catch this cat. For some reason, unknown to us, Biscuit really loves to chase outdoor cats. In the past, when Biscuit spotted a cat and started running after it, Biscuit was leashed, and we therefore had more control over Biscuit. We have to be more careful now as we do not want Biscuit to get hurt.
We are taking Biscuit to the vet today for a six month check up. Biscuit will have blood work and urinalysis completed to check his kidney function. We are going to have his leg and paw examined by the vet to make sure it is healing properly. Biscuit has been limping since his fall, but his limp, as of this morning, is less pronounced. We hope that Biscuit will continue to get better. We have given Biscuit some Tramadol for the pain, which has seemed to help him. Biscuit is still giving us his paw in the evening during his “snacking hour,” which we take as a good sign.
Below is a photograph of Biscuit taken yesterday as he was resting on his bed. Please send Biscuit positive and healing thoughts.

This weekend, we stayed close to home so we would not lose our off-street parking spaces due to a marathon taking place in the city and a home football game! In any event, Biscuit enjoyed a fun weekend! He went on multiple walks; chased an outdoor cat; went to dinner with us in his Hound About; and met a new sheltie friend, McSorley! Biscuit is definitely enjoying the cooler temperatures! Some photos are displayed below! Enjoy!

Orvis was kind enough to send us a smaller version of the Orvis Petfinder poster shown below.

Below are some photographs taken by my parents of Biscuit appearing in the Royal Oak, Michigan Orvis store! Soon, we will be taking Biscuit to the Tysons Corner Orvis store so that Biscuit can see his poster! Happy Friday!
We recently received Biscuit’s Doggles in the mail! He actually does not mind wearing them! We will have to try out his new Doggles while he is riding in his Hound About! Below are some recent photographs of our little Biscuit wearing his new Doggles!
