The Photography of Dale Barrigar Williams (aka, The Drifter) Vol. One

(The header image is a group shot of the Canine stars of this production: Colonel, Bandit and Boo)

Today and tomorrow pictures will be supplying their well known ability to say a thousand words, and then some. These are courtesy of The Drifter today and Christopher J. Ananias tomorrow.

If you are not shy, send us five images and we will be happy to give you a photo shoot day of your own. Standards of legality and good taste apply for those very few among you who need to be told such things–Leila

Dale and family love Dogs, and it shows that the feeling is mutual!

  1. Hi Dale

    Great pictures. I must single Bandit out for special praise. She has a face that could get away with murder. You could bust her with a sword clearly in her paw and wind up apologizing for thinking such a thing!

    Also, good job Dog Whispering. They actually appear to be listening!

      Thanks so much for curating these images of these great animals who all arrived in my life unannounced and at the appointed time – perfectly.

      Tressa truly is a Dog Whisperer, as her twin sister Elena also is – future photos of which shall prove and show this!

      Thanks for singling out the Lady Bandit today.

      She has a sweetness and light about her that could make even Scrooge and the Grinch feel cheerful (before their conversions).

      Still, for far too much of the population, dogs are just dogs. And they cannot see what all the fuss is really about.

      Thank you for being a Seer! Literally!

      Sincerely,

      DWB

      Thanks, too, to Jack London for the inspiration.

      And to the Good Shepherd.

    Hi Dale

    Great pictures of your dogs! The one with the half eaten hot dogs is pretty cute!

    Those dogs look like some great best friends!

    Amazing how they resemble each other.

    Car dogs and couch dogs that’ll work!

      Yes, the dogs get lots of mini-road trips to local forest preserves and so forth, in the car. Riding around in the car with the windows half open is one of their favorite, almost-daily activities. The windows have to be only half open because Boo will fly right out of the windows to say hi to other dogs or people if the windows are open all the way. Then he will fly right back in again. But it isn’t safe!

      The whole Pack also gets free rein to everywhere, all furniture and beds included. It’s funny, but none of them choose to sleep on beds even though they have that option. The Huskies, especially, prefer the cold, hard floor. No joke! Boo even likes to sleep in the tub.

      Then again, with all that fur it isn’t much of a mystery. When the wilds of Siberia make you comfortable, the comforts of civilization must seem a dime a dozen.

      Looking forward to seeing your pictures up tomorrow! I’m going on a one-night road trip to Bloomington, Illinois, to take my daughter Tressa to see a friend so if I don’t comment right away, that’s why and I’ll be back soon!
