A few weeks ago I arranged to do some photos of my brother, Patrick and his two dogs…Katja and Brayden. Patrick has had these dogs since graduating from college a couple of years ago and I just love them. They are a total handful and it cracks me up.

Isn’t this water tower awesome? I had wanted to take photos here for a while when I lived in Morrisville, so I’m glad I finally got the chance.

You can see that Brayden is trying to escape here. Both Brayden and Katja are notorious escape artists. They are actually a really good pair because Katja breaks windows (I believe she’s broken more than 5) and Brayden shimmy’s out of just about any opening he can find. And let me tell you because I have experienced it first-hand, when they escape it is a horror. Katja just sort of wanders around the neighborhood … checking everything out and Brayden (who I’m convinced is part greyhound) runs as fast as he can in circles. This makes him easier to find and harder to catch. I think luckily the escapes have gotten fewer and farther between recently.

Symmetry.

I love Brayden’s silly ears and underbite. I also love that he totally doesn’t care about the camera being all up in his face.

Sweet Katja.

See that window behind Patrick? Yeah…Katja once broke that window. :-)

Here is one last photo that I took of Patrick at an open mic night. He’s a great musician (let’s just say that piano always came much easier to him than it did to me) and he’s done a few open mic nights with his own songs and some arrangements of classics…including an accoustic version of Ludacris’ “What’s your Fantasy.” haha. Anyway, I hope he keeps it up because I think it was great.
