The very last shot of the movie involved a lot of mechanic work. The DP, Ryan Sims, and his wife and co-producer of the movie, Gwena Sims, were hard at work. You may be wonder why I wasn't helping... Well, I was taking this pictures!

Two 14-hour days (Sunday was actually 15 hours for the crew because we had to pack everything up and do a bit of cleaning). It was exhausting, but a lot of fun at the same time. And with this, I'd say 80-85% of principal photography is now over!
Many, many, many thanks to everybody involved, from actors to extras to NEW crew members to family members, who patiently waited for long hours for their actors to be done. Also, special thanks to Parkway Medical Center, which allowed us to shoot at the former Hartselle hospital, particularly to Tina Weeks, Kathy Goodwin and Blair Brothers. It was great to have among the extras some people that worked for years at Hartselle Medical Center before it was closed down. Thanks to the two security guards for their help (Erin, one of them, even performed as an extra during her time off!). But my biggest thanks of all goes to production assistant/set dresser/get-all-we-need/do-it-all Patti Hutchinson without whom all the weekend filming would have been simply impossible.

I know that some of you who were at the hospital that weekend are expecting to see here pictures of two particular scenes. I'm afraid I can't oblige. I've left those out because they would give away some key aspects of the plot.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">As I review all the pictures I've taken, I can't help thinking how hard Gwendoline's role is. Not easy for a seven-year old to spend the whole movie lying down on different surfaces: a couch, a hospital bed, a gurney, an operating table and the front seat of a truck. What makes her work even harder is the fact that she says only TWO words in the entire film (if you really knew how much she likes to talk, you'd perfectly understand what I'm saying...)</td></tr>

Add the gowns, drapes, head and shoe covers, gloves and, specially, the two huge lamps and you'll understand why Hunter was using the slate as a fan for Gwendoline between takes. If you wonder why Ingrid was checking her iPhone during such delicate moments... well, she was actually reviewing a surgical procedure on Youtube she had been studying over the previous days. That speaks volumes about her professionalism and dedication.</td></tr>

The 3rd. day of shooting came with storms and rain. That would have been fantastic for the story if the other days had been the same (the story happens in less than one day; so, all the outdoor shots have to match). Of course, the unavoidable Murphy's Law took good care of it and the other days were as bright and cloudless as anyone could expect. Probably we'll have to re-shoot at least 50% of the footage of that day. Anyway, it was GOOD, but a little hard on our 7-year old actress Gwendoline Jory, who in spite of having to be wrapped in a blanket inside "Angelina" for hours, did an awesome job.
A big thanks goes to both my colleague and friend Mike Wetzel, who drove the camera truck, and Courtland police officer Steven Terry, who not only blocked one lane of a road as we were shooting from the other lane, but also drove some cast and crew to the police station for a bathroom break. Mike also took the pictures below:<br />

I don't have any pictures of day 4. That was the most difficult shoot so far. It was in downtown Decatur and, besides directing the whole thing, I also had to coordinate traffic with police officer Chris Moffett (thank you officer). So, there was no time for pictures, but my friend Joseph Frank took a lot of behind-the-scenes video footage, so we'll be able to see all the crazy things we did some day. He also drove Angelina that day as a double for Kevin. My colleague Stephen Johnson drove the camera truck, which doubled as a safety car.<br />

With 6 young actors on set, day 5 was probably the most fun ever. The big THANK YOU of that day goes to Ryan's parents, who allowed us to shoot at their home.

On day six (last Sunday), the crew was down to its bare bones: camera, sound, one actor and director. Somewhat it was a bit of a relief compared to the previous days, but the heat was so bad that I think we ended up much more tired than in the previous shoots.<br />

It must be the old age...). Last Sunday, we shot the opening scene of "Driver." Here's a few stills I took between takes. Sorry, folks, I couldn't take any photograph while we were actually shooting. I guess that has to do with the fact that if I'm directing it, I've got to do what I'm supposed to do and be really focused on the acting and the camera work. I guess next time I'll have to call for "another take for stills only!" Anyway, it was hard work in a quite hostile environment: an auto shop with no AC, in 90 humid Alabama degrees and with a whole army of mosquitoes and flies that loved our legs and arms very, very, very much. A big THANK YOU goes to the cast and crew for their hard, passionate and enthusiastic work, and to Santiago Salgado for not only letting us to shoot at his auto shop, but also for spending 7 hours of his Sunday just being there.

A few days ago, a reporter and I were at a campground doing a story about the upcoming season. I had been taking pictures, she'd been interviewing people and we were pretty much about to leave when I saw the scene pictured here. The reporter was telling me something and I interrupted her, "I gotta photograph this. Forget about everything I shot earlier. This is THE SHOT!" So, after taking the picture, getting the name an so on, we finally headed to our cars. At that point, the reporter asked me, "So... How do you photographers know before hand that something is going to make a better picture than something else?" My answer was very simple:
"What's no to love about a lovely girl?"
What's not to love about a puppy?
What's not to love about a bright yellow car?
What's not to love about all of the above together?"Jeronimo Nisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879647304073751037noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898749060458890974.post-86110947039554483162012-04-14T23:04:00.006-05:002012-04-15T00:40:44.404-05:00FINALLY, WE GOT STARTED!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXsfVON3DI0MqXp641YpQlbAUzp_ovyuVSlGMiV688YlQgKdT0eUHXhqufUCXBx6xSPnIszXnxmHOfrAPq7X9Ux5giG-W4aEKjvjH8MxYzfUPtxiX0zKwTTWW1yxwEPevKP3Rq89iO20s/s1600/still_DAY1_001b_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXsfVON3DI0MqXp641YpQlbAUzp_ovyuVSlGMiV688YlQgKdT0eUHXhqufUCXBx6xSPnIszXnxmHOfrAPq7X9Ux5giG-W4aEKjvjH8MxYzfUPtxiX0zKwTTWW1yxwEPevKP3Rq89iO20s/s1600/still_DAY1_001b_lr.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731484509703795234" /></a><br /><br />The reason why I haven't posted anything here for more than two months is that something else has taken up all my time outside of work. That "something else" is my very first fiction piece (if you don't count the shelter commercial). Yes, I'm making a movie! or, at least, trying to make one. I had already worked on a short as a "B camera" and assistant to the DP, but I wanted to make my own film. So, the first step was to write it, and believe me, that's a real pain in the ass, specially if you haven't done it before. Oh, I can't even start telling you how much I admire screenwriters now! Well, once that's finished and revised, and re-drafted, and re-revised again and re-written and changed and re-re-revised and..., there comes all the pre-production stuff: casting, scouting for locations, getting props, crew, costumes, vehicles (including a hearse), permits, knocking on a lot of doors, story boarding, finding a composer for the score and whatnot. Now, if you have a decent budget to make a movie, you'll also have people doing a lot of that stuff for you, but when your budget is "0" (zero, or a we say in Spain, "cero pelotero," which means less than zero) and all you have is a friend (Ryan Sims, who co-produces and shoots it) who is as excited as myself about the project, then your life gets awfully complicated and you start wondering over and over again why on earth you even wanted to make a movie in the first place, even if it's a short one.<br /><br />To be honest, I have to admit that I wrote the story because I wanted to SHOOT it myself, but now I'm perfectly comfortable with just being the writer-director. I've always heard that a movie is the result of a big team effort, but only now I've realized how true that actually is and, after all, I not only absolutely trust Ryan as a DP, but we also work very well together (his wife told me the other day that he's never seen him work this comfortably because it's the first time he's working with a director who happens to be a photographer, too).<br /><br />Anyway, we finally got started with some 2nd unit photography with actor Tom Kennelly, and these pictures here are a few grabs from the camera's footage (except the last one, obviously). A big THANKYOU goes to Andy Scharein for allowing us to shoot in his house and to Rachael for making Violet, the dog, stay on the exact spot where I wanted her to stay.<br /><br />I've made the resolution of posting updates here. So, if you're interested in this sort of things, stay tuned. Oh, and if you see someone driving around like crazy or banging his head against a wall or shouting in the middle of the night or similar stuff, don't worry: that's just me enjoying the movie-making process.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Mq9gfhTjkq1fqe4pvk9pbdeuIxkAiU4osvML2rroQhPD6Q2dn5UDIvcHdzwpzxdbIiKnLPbyg1wU8CU-Y7BQfmqshKjfCZELaI44f4vTYl98Z46Z1o2uOPzZ8BCoo7W-Mh51Fa7-mmg/s1600/still_DAY1_003b_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block;

With Blakely being almost the only dem in his county and considering he's a real cowboy (I think he's the happiest person in this world when he's riding a horse), the idea of the "Lone Ranger" came to mind while I was driving up to Athens. But I wanted to avoid the obvious, that is, taking a picture of him riding into the sun or something like that. This idea of not having him on a horse was even reinforced when I went in his office and he told me he'd had knee surgery a few days earlier. As I was struggling to come up with something really fast, I noticed the huge amount of "cowboy" artifacts he had in there and also the beautiful color of the office walls. It was then when I decided to use "light painting" in order to get something with a moody feel.<br /><br />The first task was to move things around a little bit. What originally hanged on the wall behind him was some kind of framed picture with glass that I had to remove. Then I used one of his baseball caps to hide the air conditioning's thermostat and placed a rope around it. The "cow skull" was the only thing I found around to fill the empty space left by the frame we had previously removed. I used one of my super-handy bungee chords I always carry in my camera bag. Because of this, the skull was hanging much lower, but I didn't mind it since that position created a nice diagonal line with the sheriff's head and the cap/rope. Then we brought his saddle from a corner and place it there and, finally, the rifle on the left.<br /><br />It was a 15-second exposure, so he had to keep really still during all that time. First, I "painted" with a flashlight from behind the camera (first of these two pictures). It was OK, but I wasn't too excited about it because the spots of light were too obvious. Then I thought I could try to recreate a window light as if there were a window off camera right. So, I changed position and painted from there, leaving some seconds to move back and paint only the saddle and the rifle from another angle (2nd picture). I liked this second one much better and thought the use of light painting was more justified and suited the story better. The weekend editor (the picture was to be published on Sunday) liked the first one better because he could see the whole face, but I chose the second one for publication for the reasons written here. I also included that one in the portraits section of my website (<a target = "_blank" href="http://www.jeronimonisa.com/">www.jeronimonisa.com</a>).<br /><br />Which one would have you used?

These guys have done an awesome work transforming the old Courtland High School into something magical. The place is, obviously, so dark that there was no way to take "action" pictures. So I settled for a portrait with three of the many actors. For this portrait I used a 5-second exposure during which we "painted" with a flashlight, and then, before the 5 seconds were over, I triggered a strobe hidden behind the actor on the left. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju2Hc9ASOovRDkxvXTx3EwdK9TCttGXProZQuw5SGfBqioLaythaLwWQ-S3-lmXVA2RBeJZH953-LGs1t2d8rGYijaLtNeX918gLWpZwj640vHcLXU88Apa4hVg4nrUs1yf2p44PHzmds/s1600/HorrorJN10b_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju2Hc9ASOovRDkxvXTx3EwdK9TCttGXProZQuw5SGfBqioLaythaLwWQ-S3-lmXVA2RBeJZH953-LGs1t2d8rGYijaLtNeX918gLWpZwj640vHcLXU88Apa4hVg4nrUs1yf2p44PHzmds/s1600/HorrorJN10b_lr.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663835869925075778" /></a><br /><br />The next day, I did a video about the house.

<br />
<br />This year, we planned to feature the "iron men" of each team (yeah, those guys who work out even when they don't have to) in our high school football preview special section. So, I thought it would be cool to do something related to the movie Ironman. I hadn't seen it, so when I finally watched it, I thought it would be easier to go for the look of the first Ironman, the more rustic one that the protagonist builds when he's a prisoner of the Taliban (or whoever they are). Actually, to go for the building process itself.
<br />
<br />The picture above, which I took for the cover, would have been impossible to make without the help of my friend Ryan Sims and Bill Pettey, the owner of "Pettey Machine Works," the place where the photo shoot took place. Ryan built the "iron" mask just a couple of hours before the shoot and helped me with the lighting greatly. Mr. Petty, besides providing the location and some of the props, fixed the smoke machine (which got busted at the beginning of the shoot) and made sparks on command with his welding equipment.
<br />
<br />- "Arc reactors" (those lights on the kids' chests): $18.00 (found in the camping dept. at Walmart).
<br />- All of the other props: borrowed.
<br />- Working with Ryan, Bill and the kids: PRICELESS.

So, imagine how much more boring is to photograph a baseball practice. But if, due to rain, the practice is inside a gym, then it becomes the mother of all boredom (I know, I know, it's the American pastime and blah, blah, blah... It must be just me). Anyway, I started playing around with slow shutter speed, panning and using the folded stands as a graphic element. I threw this picture in, together with the "safe shots," and (oh, surprise, surprise) it got printed. Something must be changing... and I'm grateful for that.Jeronimo Nisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15879647304073751037noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898749060458890974.post-16436387097583264402011-03-14T14:53:00.007-05:002011-03-14T15:20:42.701-05:00DISCO BOWLING<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKOXP8boMDqVKjeMHBL9SL4k1Rc-b3aQaduPWVs7615P2Wckvnge_hRTk78t8VOUXVydROmQnR7j_8OQGf2YoLtzmk9ddIK7PSlGjxBMn65ZJA7I44Ez5zATQ7yNyCJQSiePRT0u7IcM0/s1600/100319_disco_bowling_JN04dh_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKOXP8boMDqVKjeMHBL9SL4k1Rc-b3aQaduPWVs7615P2Wckvnge_hRTk78t8VOUXVydROmQnR7j_8OQGf2YoLtzmk9ddIK7PSlGjxBMn65ZJA7I44Ez5zATQ7yNyCJQSiePRT0u7IcM0/s1600/100319_disco_bowling_JN04dh_lr.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584032217875391218" /></a><br /><br />While looking for some stuff I shot last year, I came across pictures I took at an event here in Decatur. A local organization had organized a bowling night (probably there was some fundraising involved or something like that). Yes, in this newspaper, we shot "party pics" from time to time (more often than we would like to, I should add...). That kind of assignments basically consist in photos of people posing for the camera and cheesy-smiling. But when I arrived at the bowling alley, I saw all these people dressed in 70s outfits and the assignment got a bit more interesting. I completely forgot about the bowling and decided to focus on the costumes. Then I discovered an orange and blue wall, and that was it. Went back to my car to get a couple of strobes, umbrellas and stands and told the bowlers that I was setting up a photo booth and whoever wanted could have their picture taken. All of them showed up, got really into character and had a great time.

Shelby Humane Society's Shelter Partners Program moves rescued pets from Shelby County, which is experiencing extreme animal overpopulation, to shelters in New Hampshire where the success and enforcement of animal and spay and neuter laws and initiatives limit the number of pets available for adoption. With rare exceptions, the dogs and puppies transferred are placed with adoptive families within a few days of becoming available for adoption at the NH shelters. Obviously, the trip costs money (about $50 per dog), and Michelle wanted to find donors who would sponsor individual pups' trips up north by buying Christmas tree ornaments containing the picture of the particular dog they would like to sponsor.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpNWguREFsKjl5hxgJBDtoLkYxYqyYzw2gjFS4kwdKdRyZUy6rZpav4DRqk3qtx84pBAupQP1rxONS7A009IsF1uWmvTxdRks5Rjr-0PLfSxhBAmwuWqeRFt4EBXy9iCvGpTgCDSNFl0M/s1600/Lulu_JN_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpNWguREFsKjl5hxgJBDtoLkYxYqyYzw2gjFS4kwdKdRyZUy6rZpav4DRqk3qtx84pBAupQP1rxONS7A009IsF1uWmvTxdRks5Rjr-0PLfSxhBAmwuWqeRFt4EBXy9iCvGpTgCDSNFl0M/s1600/Lulu_JN_lr.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549893939531302738" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmCgdFYik0fMPctyrOhxqlIXd6bxyFkfJgcdR_uKCWqi_dNubykPU4M-QAYCew36pVJ7IuD90vAFAi_F39FEL3lPvLKTIpaSHk-QXAU_AdDZcvP2AtvLEp0ZANzhFZE6Ro2aGyBFq0OAc/s1600/Bingo_JN_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmCgdFYik0fMPctyrOhxqlIXd6bxyFkfJgcdR_uKCWqi_dNubykPU4M-QAYCew36pVJ7IuD90vAFAi_F39FEL3lPvLKTIpaSHk-QXAU_AdDZcvP2AtvLEp0ZANzhFZE6Ro2aGyBFq0OAc/s1600/Bingo_JN_lr.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549893940402810434" /></a><br /><br />So, I volunteered to take "studio portraits" of shelter animals. I photographed about 80 dogs and cats in a small room at the shelter, using a black piece of fabric as a background (or the bare white wall for the darker dogs) and two strobes shooting through umbrellas. Now, that's easier said that done, because those guys are not gonna keep still on the exact spot where you want them to be. It actually was a huge exercise of imagination and patience and I could NEVER have done it without the help of Leon and Amber, who work at the shelter. Leon was great holding the dogs while keeping himself out of the frame, and so was Amber, who did all sorts of things to make the pets look (more or less) in the direction of the camera.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ZG88qats_b9zcZvyznCKhD3aPzwP9TRODtcw1-1SUWll8mePVyg8lRJl-lUzPyjjoIBSoyGsbB-Dgxcm1zZGfzR3dhEQNzGwR0q_CIk_D7Wktujjg9cNSDSkKcZpD-rUlvzba-q25i4/s1600/Pluto_JN01_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2ZG88qats_b9zcZvyznCKhD3aPzwP9TRODtcw1-1SUWll8mePVyg8lRJl-lUzPyjjoIBSoyGsbB-Dgxcm1zZGfzR3dhEQNzGwR0q_CIk_D7Wktujjg9cNSDSkKcZpD-rUlvzba-q25i4/s1600/Pluto_JN01_lr.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549898756884939506" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH67tZs0Qy4JCtwSJ6HfiWoUrCFB3cM48_kUBvUblYK41tSLhLMC11NEpel-mjmKaCGZYXX94dxQof-Fry3GH00TdtVjdxWtQWz11-bjHr8jJ1iagu5mJCmXjPfnNWviIHU7BMxlgmbR4/s1600/Kaden_JN_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH67tZs0Qy4JCtwSJ6HfiWoUrCFB3cM48_kUBvUblYK41tSLhLMC11NEpel-mjmKaCGZYXX94dxQof-Fry3GH00TdtVjdxWtQWz11-bjHr8jJ1iagu5mJCmXjPfnNWviIHU7BMxlgmbR4/s1600/Kaden_JN_lr.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549898749335295154" /></a><br /><br />All sorts of things happened during the photo shoot, most memorable of which was the funny pitbull who, as soon as he entered the room and before any of us knew it, peed all over my camera bag and then came to lick my face as if nothing had happened (thank God the bag was closed and there wasn't any damage to report about...)<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifItldHmj4zT6O_8KE_Pr6pPu1HP3srMtFe2WxarruzpJhxcvGWAQz3prt8UAcrY-UgxanW0K6RWi4ZkKgugE7LjxELUXyKrMBR9DIdk7MR16nFTB5szeGSc8jrnr5ab7_ZRYzTjvvxWw/s1600/Twilight_JN_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifItldHmj4zT6O_8KE_Pr6pPu1HP3srMtFe2WxarruzpJhxcvGWAQz3prt8UAcrY-UgxanW0K6RWi4ZkKgugE7LjxELUXyKrMBR9DIdk7MR16nFTB5szeGSc8jrnr5ab7_ZRYzTjvvxWw/s1600/Twilight_JN_lr.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549918583537214466" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqaqWlyhsef6kygbhmF5iuOE-MzkvvPB5v56IsWkBiI0Ce2Ecp23_gEykdqo1wBzykViLySwe5BiTbzpHwAvR1l9QlXCTvrVm7EVjDmycRD6HXhl687uR9sswPsD9f45Hi0FZ2ZeBbJik/s1600/Tango_JN_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqaqWlyhsef6kygbhmF5iuOE-MzkvvPB5v56IsWkBiI0Ce2Ecp23_gEykdqo1wBzykViLySwe5BiTbzpHwAvR1l9QlXCTvrVm7EVjDmycRD6HXhl687uR9sswPsD9f45Hi0FZ2ZeBbJik/s1600/Tango_JN_lr.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549918583329012274" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ2H3DyjCsg5qmNKCSVKckQ1OtzoShYU9nHgDE9ice5oK-ndsG5aDo1tcSBfsNiwtFhbIkgEt5Os9-KRqmVNLEyzOsw27FBJ-8sCNY9xSxVlm5_snNDkWp5u4hT4An5u4hXjMaNAgVzTU/s1600/Pom+Pom_JN_lr.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ2H3DyjCsg5qmNKCSVKckQ1OtzoShYU9nHgDE9ice5oK-ndsG5aDo1tcSBfsNiwtFhbIkgEt5Os9-KRqmVNLEyzOsw27FBJ-8sCNY9xSxVlm5_snNDkWp5u4hT4An5u4hXjMaNAgVzTU/s1600/Pom+Pom_JN_lr.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549918580709754626" /></a><br />Then, we needed a campaign poster and they chose George as the poster boy (the 2 first pictures above).

George is a pitbull that had been in the shelter for 10 months and, therefore, was risking being euthanized.
