  • Who remembers the photographer who took the spectacular “dogs in action” shots that were soon in everyone’s Facebook feed and on every news show?  Well this photographer-preneur is back with a new series of dogs underwater photography.  Sure the photos are once again amazing, but what I ilked about this story was his advice about doing what you love.  And I quote: Do what you love and love what you do. Pursue what you are passionate about. I meet many photographers that do "a little bit of this and a little bit of that". Find your niche and take chances.  Swoon!
