Please visit our New Blog!!!
Yes... That's right. This is the last post in this blog. We've been busy designing our new blogsite -- featuring even larger images, easier site navigation, an inline comment facility, and a closer branding tie-in with our brushed silver and burgundy color scheme.
On May 7, we launched our new blog residing at www.david-nicholas.com. Our former blog will remain active as an archive, but all new items from May 2008 forward will be posted on our new blogsite.
So please be sure to take a moment and update your bookmarks and optional RSS feeds accordingly. We have big plans for our new blog, so please don't miss out on this great new window into our world of "capturing life's most memorable moments".
Thank you... and we hope to see you again at www.david-nicholas.com!

Zuke's 12-Week Update!!!
It's difficult to believe we've had Zuke for just over 5 weeks now, but he's already 12 weeks old this week! We're trying really hard to expend his boundless puppy energy with lots of exercise, but Zuke is gaining the weight that I'm losing -- which I guess is a good thing!!! Here are a few photo favorites during his first month with us...
Zuke romping with his favorite toy... and hopefully releasing LOTS of energy!!!
Looks like we may have tired him out a bit here...
And he actually sat still for 2 seconds while we captured this pose...
And if you forgot what Zuke looked like when he first arrived, here are two early photos. The first photo is with Misty, my brother-in-law's 7-year-old yellow lab. And the last photo is from a series taken during Zuke's first time playing outside in our yard.

Zuke's first week in Doylestown, PA!!!
By popular demand, we're posting some additional photos of Zuke taken around our yard and in the house during his first week with us. Trust me... he looks much more innocent in these photos then he really is at this stage. Overall, he's quite a joy, very intelligent, and has taken quite a liking to the camera!!!
The photo below gives a great perspective of how small Zuke is right now. In just the few days he's been with us though, we can begin to see some changes taking place.
And this is a great photo showing his tiny -- and very sharp -- puppy teeth that he's so fond of using on things he shouldn't... in this case his leash. Yes... it would seem that we have some training to do!!!
You'll see in the two photos below that it didn't take Zuke too long to discover the fringe on a couple of rug runners in the house foyer. Until he's better trained, we've removed the runners to avoid temptation for now.

Introducing Zuke, our Seeing Eye Puppy!!!
Several months ago, my wife Linda and I decided we'd raise a puppy for the Seeing Eye organization, headquartered in Morristown, NJ. Well last week we received the phone call indicating that a black lab puppy named Zuke would be delivered to us on Monday, August 20th.
Zuke arrived on schedule, and he looked so precious... we just couldn't help but capture a portrait of him on his first day with us, at 8 weeks old.
We've already attended a couple of Seeing Eye monthly meetings prior to Zuke's arrival, and I can tell you he won't stay this small for long. So having an 8-week old portrait of Zuke is something we'll always treasure. And if all goes as planned, we'll have Zuke for approximately 14-18 months, after which time he'll return back to the Seeing Eye in Morristown, where he'll undergo formal training and hopefully "graduate" to become a dog guide for someone in need of his services.
Until that time, however, we'll be raising Zuke and exposing him to as many "real world" situations as we can to better prepare him for his life as a dog guide during his adult years. So you will often see Zuke when we're out photographing on location or if you're coming into the studio for a portrait or consultation!
We know going into this program that it will be difficult to "send him back" after the emotional ties of 18 months. However, I can tell you that Linda and I just attended the Seeing Eye organization's Annual Family Day in Morristown this past weekend. And witnessing some of the success stories where dog guides were matched with someone in need is nothing short of amazing. What a tremendous program!!!
