((( THE IMPORTANCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY )))

[QCKLime]

I 100% agree. Two of the things I lamented the most when I first got into dogs was the lack of rock-solid line breedings on some phenomenal dogs, AND the fact that very few people took decent pictures of their dogs, IF they took any at all. Both are a travesty to history.

Unfortunately, in my opinion, pictures of good dogs have only gotten worse, instead of better, with time. There is a onslaught of incredibly terrible pedigree pictures all over peds-online, and not in just the angle or quality of pictures, but hardly anyone takes their dogs off of the chain to get a decent picture these days, so you end up with a ton of dogs on questionable set ups with dirty water in a chewed up plastic bucket and a makeshift house in the background. Exceptions to that image are few and far between

Well said. Not only agreement on the first part, but as to the second part (aside from too many people leaving piles of $#!^ in the background of their pictures, it has always seemed to me that dogmen have a defective gene when it comes to mowing the lawn ... as almost every "chain spot" photo ever made is surrounded by 3' high, uncut grass

Took a pic of FMK's V-DAWG 1xw-ROM and posted it on his ped, but it's side-ways! If anyone knows how to correct it; I'd appreciate it. I tried and tried, but I just can't get it, and don't have the time to keep at it. Some help is needed, and again, it'll be much appreciated.
