David Williams and the people and dogs of Westminster Dog Show
I asked David about what it was like to shoot dogs at the 2017 Westminster Dog Show in NYC this month and this is what he had to offer:
"I was lucky enough to take a stab at the challenge of capturing the Westminster Dog Show this year. Color and humor are what compels me to take a picture, and this event has no shortage of either. The purple runways and ropes, green show floor, and colorful skirt suits provide ample opportunities to take a great picture. Oh! And the dogs. The most beautiful dogs I have ever seen. Big ones, small ones, skinny ones, fat ones. It’s almost like a Dr. Suess book in real life. With everything working to my advantage, the dog show is still an unpredictable event to photograph and difficult to make photos that stand out from other photographer's shots from the past. With this in mind, I tried my best to seek out moments that spoke to me instead of firing my camera at every cute dog that walked past. So, after three days and over 58,000 steps, here’s a peek into what I came home with."
BETTER WITH PETS SUMMIT IN BROOKLYN WAS ANIMAL EXTRAVAGANZA
There's a conversation happening at Purina and it's an inspired one at that. Many influencers all flocked to Greenpoint, Brooklyn to "bring together the brightest minds in pet science and culture to show how big, innovative ides are improving the emotional wellness of pets and the people who love them."
Dylan the cat and his people Tom Cashin and Jay Johnson as seen by David Williams
As connoisseurs of all things elegant it s no surprise that Tom Cashin and Jay Johnson's cat falls into the same category as their design business. When hearing the phrase, "restrained elegance" we are not quite sure if we are hearing about the business, JED JOHNSON ASSOCIATES INC. or their cat Dylan. So naturally we had to delve and this is what we got.
Matilda's birthday at the Algonquin was a fantastic feline fest
Last night, the photographer David Williams and I went to Matilda the cat's birthday at The Algonquin Hotel. This is a hotel tradition that dates back the the 30's when the first stray Matilda walked in to the hotel looking for a hot meal and a bed. The hotel is now on their third Matilda and the party has become quite a celebration of cat lovers much to the delight of the host of the party, Alice de Almeida.
