Album covers inspired by Blue Note Records.
This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances.
Motley Crue occupies a peculiar space in the media landscape: Despite selling over fifty million albums, at least three members of the band are more famous on their own than all of the songs they’ve recorded as a group. It’s hard to imagine another band who could publish three bestselling books about themselves without really mentioning their music at all.
Last weekend we hit the Humane Society’s Dog-A-Thon down at Forst Steilacoom park. My wife put herself (and her dog) on the task and helped to raise $500 toward the no kill shelter in Pierce County. I think overall, the event raised $151,000, up $30K from last year. This was a pretty good opportunity to shoot some photos, and that I did. There are a bunch of dog-a-thon photos up on my Flickr site.

Those are some great photos and, although I’m more of a cat person myself, it’s great to see so much being raised for any no-kill shelter. Bravo!
P.S. – Did you get my email I sent your way yesterday? If not, can you shoot me a message with your email address so I can try again? Thanks!

The shelter has a goal of becoming a “no-kill†organization by December 2008, and that’s super good news for cats too. Cats are great, we’ve got one cat too.
