JohnnyP with puppy 1

Assignment: Portrait of person with pet.

Now, nobody said the pet actually had to *belong* to the person... My friend Hans had just gotten this tiny chihuahua puppy, and I thought...wouldn't it be cute to photograph him with some big burly guy? Cue JohnnyP, who's big and burly and hairy and tattooed and bald...but a total teddybear. He got up quite early for me, with good humor, and laughed his way through the whole session. Seriously, one of the easiest models I've ever worked with. Fun too.
So here are 4 from the series. There are a *ton* that I love, and I'm still messing with them and trying to decide which to submit. Hope you enjoy.
