me and dogs and coffee

[thoreau]

so - this morning - while getting my drip coffee across the street. because somehow going across the street makes the coffee taste better than making it here at CasaMuffin^tm the owner of the coffeeshop stops me. A few weeks back on a lark - I left her a note - with links to my picasa web photo galleries - and asked if she'd let me get some of my photos printed up and framed - and show them in the coffeeshop. Now - I'm not a professional photographer by ANY means. I'm no ruralrob at all. But - she stops me this morning - and says - "how about - we put up posters and invite people to bring their dogs to Bean There - you shoot photos - then we create a show here of your photos of dogs and their owners enjoying coffee at Bean There; then we use Cafe Press or something and create a coffee table book of the photos we show plus others to sell here at the cafe? We'd call it "Bean There with my Dog" or something like that. think about it."

I'm sorta stunned. What a neat sounding project!

Very cool!

I like it!!

Might we bring Rachel and Nigel? Be sure to do this on a warm day, or at least one that it is not raining. It would even be cool to have poems or prose or some insightful expression printed on the photos.

Wow, she obviously has given this some thought. Congratulations and good luck!

Jump on it.

Fantastic!

Love it when these unexpected opportunities drop in our laps. Just make sure Kateydog get's the cover!

Holy cow! That's incredible. Congratulations!

Very cool. Obviously, as the creative fag, you'll have to come up with a clever(er) title for the coffee table book... Bean There: Caffeine & Canines, or Bean There: From Litters to Lattes or some such nonsense.

[notdefined.livejournal.com]

Now that is cool! Litters to Latees. That's a catchy slogan if I've ever heard one!

Cool, congratulations!

Hopefully we will be able to see some of the finished product...?

That is very cool!

You need a new project anyhow.

Sounds like a cool idea, but do you really want to traumatise those other dogs when people are obliged to compare their photos against the Infinate Cuteness that is Ms Kateydog?

Wonderful! If it does get made into a book, I'm buying that. :)

This is a proven fact...coffee purchased ALWAYS tastes better than coffee made at home

and yes...sounds like a neat project for you

Sounds great ... though Ms. Kate will be hard to beat for 'cutest canine coffee hound.' :0)
