Great autoportrait with dog. I like its expression. I like too the words of Lao Tzu

I am absolutely agree with the chinese philosopher. And your dog seems to fulfill the profile of the perfect traveling companion. Nice picture.

That quotation could not more perfectly describe a dog !!
That's the best I've ever heard it expressed.
My dog just likes to get in the car and go...she doesn't care where.
Of course, I don't overlook this quote as a message for the rest of us, either. ;-)
I love your large format image with all its rich, dramatic, and also subtle tones.

" But as long as there's a road my feet will never touch the ground" (The Avett Brothers)
It' s always good to have a travel companion, some kind of ally. And words can't describe how much I love mirror shots. The artitst's hands at work. Can't tell how long I waited for this one moment, how I longed for it. This is just brilliant, Sharon! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Photographers best friend?
Nice portrait :) - Tells us much about you, even if your face mostly covered :)

That is a great shot! I love this. The way you capture yourself with camera, your dog looking over your shoulder, still wearing the cone. The look on its face is sooo sweet, trusting, loyal, interested, naturally along for the ride. Very,very sweet, and beautiful in black and white.

A well defined space, a camera and face restlessly "Retriever" perhaps? Some dogs who are curious! Beautiful W/B. Best regards, Adela

Love this shot with the best companion of traveler (a dog doesn't mind where it goes, it goes ;) and of photographer in this frame, it wants to see what you see, and the belts btween tou make a physical link... so cute and moving :)
22 Jul 2010 3:52pm
He wants to be in the picture too off course :-) Great capture!
22 Jul 2010 6:56pm
Are you shooting me ?? Geez, i had no time to step back and, worse, no desire to ;) Just love the eye the dog is giving us (is this the famous Sonny Rollins by chance ?) and how he sticks his nose on the back of the chair not to miss the frame while your hand is absolute photographer's signature. Ah, another great one (as i quickly passed by Am3 tonight) ~ *

Really nice image, Sharon. I like how the white seems toned a bit.
22 Jul 2010 8:56pm
That must be a very exciting travel! Enjoying the landscape while shooting something always! So great!
22 Jul 2010 8:58pm
Such a very good traveler enjoying the new smells. A wonderful image.
22 Jul 2010 9:25pm
This is so much fun. Really great of the two of you. : )
23 Jul 2010 12:22am
HA! That's a great shot. My dog often has a similar expression - "Are we gonna get out of the car now or are you just talking another picture?"
23 Jul 2010 12:25am
And a good model as well... It seems that he just want to get out of here however...
23 Jul 2010 7:20am

23 Jul 2010 8:17pm
Cool shot, I like how your dog is just peeking out. The quote is perfect!
23 Jul 2010 11:19pm
I took me a second to figure out exactly what was going on in this shot!
24 Jul 2010 2:41am
A lovely picture that brings a smile to my face... I'm curious about the owner of that manicured, sensitive hand and I want to hold the dog's muzzle...he's so sweetly trying to squeeze in and get a look...and doesn't seem keen on arriving at all!! LOL! Fabulous slice of life:)

This pushes me into comment-overload and I don't know where to start and Pavan has already turned the first corner !
24 Jul 2010 8:46am
Your fantastic eye for detail has once again produced a super image
24 Jul 2010 10:26am
Take the shot and lets get moving so I can feel the wind in my face. Cool shot.
24 Jul 2010 9:18pm
Wonderful capture! And he/she looks like our Bettie in the face ;)
25 Jul 2010 9:56am
@Elaine-: Thanks Elaine. No he's not my puppy but I spend a lot of time with him, so I like to pretend he is though :)
Sweet!! :) I love that dog poking his nose into the frame :)
25 Jul 2010 8:02pm
Awesome shot. I just drove across 3 provinces with my dog. Lots of scenery pics with her nose in the shot.
26 Jul 2010 2:05am
You know where he would like to be though, hanging out the window :)
27 Jul 2010 4:45pm
it feels like he's saying.. "quick, take a snap of me too.." :)
28 Jul 2010 3:52am
This is such a great shot...your travelin' buddy by your side (or at least behind you)!

I don't know if this picture is looking into the rear-view mirror, or a picture you took of another photographer's dog. But I like the mystery!
15 Aug 2010 5:15am
