Zuki, the Dusty Dog was the inspiration for my site name, and the subject of a multitude of photos. Sadly, the Dusty Dog has left me to my own devices, having died on July 18, 2007. My photos and my memory of her are testament to her spirit, the wonderful life she led, and the life that she "gave" me. We, indeed, rescued each other. She was a great dog.

I am a landscape architect first and a photographer second. Or, is it the other way around? I've been developing my photography and Photoshop skills for years, which began when I took a class in photojournalism photography as an elective while earning my Bachelors of Landscape Architecture degree. In my Pets and People galleries, are examples of my portrait and pet photography. My biggest passion, however, is nature and landscape photography.
