There is no question you get pumped up by the recognition. Then a self-loathing sets in when you realise you're enjoying it.

Know from the bounteous heaven all riches flow.

My dog, Puffy. The dog is the perfect portrait subject. He doesn't pose. He isn't aware of the camera.

All da ladies love Leo!!
