This week’s LensProtoGo 52 Week Project theme is “Monster”. I struggled with this a bit…do I go for a scary monster or a “cute” monster (a la Monster Inc.)? I decided to use my dog Kona, because she is the little monster currently in my life. Anyone who has a puppy I’m sure can relate to the growing pains of obedience training, especially potty training!

I shot her outside on the deck because I liked the rustic wood and lines the wood created. I really enjoy the textures that are happening and the unsaturated look of the wood against her tan fur. I also wanted it to be less “dog”, and to keep it more mysterious with just her paws in the photo.
