Last weekend I attended Digital Days with the winner of BenSpark’s Digital Day’s Photo Contest for Boston. The winner was Andy, his dog writes the blog Stephen The Dog, and he had a really good time at the photography workshop, Digital Days. Here is what he had to say about the weekend:

Thanks for the opportunity to attend Digital Days. I was very impressed by both the content and the instructors. It is not often you get to spend 2 full days thinking about photography surrounded by other like minded individuals. I definitely picked up a ton of great information. Such as when shooting in low light you need to remove the UV filter from you lens. Who would have thought you have to worry about light reflecting off your sensor to the filter and back to the senor again. Yikes, it does create some interesting effect though.

The model shoot is definitely an experience not to be missed. Seldom do you get a change to shoot at multiple models over the course of an hour with an instructor commenting on your technique. Now I just need to sort thought the 6GB of photos I have. I wonder if they have a digital deleting days?

I highly recommend digital days for the novice-intermediate DSLR user.

Here are some of Andy’s shots from the Model Shoot.

Stephen The Dog, A Fake!

10 Comments

In what has to be one of the most shocking Internet cover ups in recent years it was revealed today that Stephen The Dog is not what he appears.

What We Knew

Stephen The Dog was one of the premiere Dog Bloggers on the internet despite his insistence of calling his blog an ODD (Online Digital Diary). This should have been our first clue that something was amiss. Stephen got into blogging to earn money for a small indiscretion with a seat belt. Being a dog with no income options Stephen turned to blogging and PayPerPost. Over the next year Stephen would earn about $300.00 through blogging, mostly about Dating Sites.

Stephen also decided that he would harass inquire of many corporations via a letter writing campaign. However the true intent behind that was to amass as many autographed photos of people not even famous enough to have photos for autographing. Then there was bobsledding, calling everyone by the 1st letter of their names and of course the countless mentions of napping.

Stephen The Dog? It is All A Lie!

Like so many bait and switch operations eventually the truth is revealed. Stephen The Dog is not his real name, it is a pseudonym to make him more likable to the common man, to give him that warm cuddly name we can all love. However, “Stephen” Is really…

Sure, that is a pretentious show dog name but that is not the worst of this whole lie. No not at all, a simple name change could be forgiven, but the bigger lie is totally unforgivable.

Stephen The Dog’s Blog is actually Authored by a Cat!

Well, actually two cats that work in tandem. Oliver and Duncan were contracted to do the bulk of the ghost writing for online blog, Stephen The Dog. …

When asked for comment Oliver was bitter…

Suck a Lemon - PAD #1004

“What! Who told you this, was it Daisy The Curly Cat? Well, I knew it wouldn’t last forever. However this is sort of old news as ‘Stephen’ tossed us out on our respective tails after we refused to go along with his crazy Double Stuff Nutter Butter idea. I mean, who needs that much peanut butter?”

Duncan however was more contemplative. He muses about the good old days.

Lonely Cats

“We had a good run, then ‘Stephen’ began to get greedy, he’s forgotten his roots. He now thinks he’s some sort of financial genius. Now that he is making some cash money he’s outsourced his posts to some Engrish blogger outfit. Don’t worry you’ll get the same grammatical and spelling mistakes, * Grammatical Errors and Spelling Errors were all ‘Stephen’. He called them Barking it Real., and quirky writing that you’ve come to know and love. But what will we do now?”

We’re cats. And We’re Cute. We’ll become LOLCats Models…
