Today was a special day in the life of your three year old family pet and service animal, Pixie, for she was the lucky 1st prize winner at Scraps Dog Company’s annual Scary Tails Howl-O-Ween costume contest with her Rapunzel outfit!
The 6 pound chihuahua’s outfit was carefully constructed by my brilliantly creative wife, Kat, which included a bejeweled silky dress with plenty of sparkle, a princess hat and attached blonde hair extension with yet more sparkle. In addition to the costume, was a handmade tower (yes, an actual tower for Rapunzel to reside in), complete with flowers, shrubbery, bricks and a straw roof.
The images seen here were snapped on my iPhone 4S and were quickly edited using Snapseed.
We’re big fans and supporters of Scraps Dog Company year round, and are honored to take home the prestigious 1st prize basket full of treats, toys, food and even a doggy-themed picture frame! If you haven’t yet treated your dog to one of the handmade cookies, cakes or snacks, we highly recommend doing so at your earliest convenience!
I might as well just change this column to be the ‘Week in Instagram a la I Shoot Reno’ with all of the IG photos popping up these days, but let’s not forget about this amazing thing all around us called ‘the real world’. Yes folks, this thing does truly exist, and if we look up from our smartphones for just a quick second we’ll realize that we’re all part of something much bigger than real-time updates on whichever topic we fancy at the moment. Indeed, this ‘real world’ will often demand our attention when we are sucked into our technology and it is up to ourselves to impose a limit and recognize when lines are being crossed. Example: Click on the link just below to discover an upcoming Hip Hop show in our area which is not to be missed. Or, of course … you could just stare at your iPhone all night.
Hold iPhone 4S up to a foggy set of glasses and snap the pic. It should look something like the image above. Try it with different lighting effects for really interesting photos! #nofilter
2012-01-09 how can we learn to trust what's around the corner?
Anyone remember that Green Velvet song which repeats the phrase It’s time for the percolator? That’s just a hint. Can you guess which app I used?

Slow Shutter + Juxtaposer on the apps. I was sitting at the light and took this shot right as we made a right onto Robb Dr. off of Sharlands in NW Reno. Cool, huh? Oh, and eat your greens!
2012-01-11 what does your home screen look like?
So this is basically an edit of what my iPhone 4S home screen looks like. That’s a mosaic of Jimi I made as the wallpaper even though you can’t really tell…
