Infrequently Amusing

March 6, 2013 by Jamie

In terms of objects that can be balanced on my dog’s head, pizza is easy. Round things and hats prove more difficult. Last year I photographed my poor dog with pretty much everything I could think of balanced on his head, and last week I created a photo book of my favorites from the year.

Instagram Addict

April 9, 2012 by Jamie
