Hi all.
We wanted take a moment to discuss photos from the March Seattle Kennel Club agility trials.
Posting galleries on a per-request basis was OK’d by the chair for the entire SKC show before we ever announced this approach.
As we stated in our earlier blog as well as on the “landing page”, those folks that are interested in photos only need to let us know, and to give us a rough description of themselves, along with info on their dog(s).
For all of you who have already contacted us, we’ve located you and your dogs 100%. We will have all your galleries up this week.
The reason this is working? We took photos of every handler for every run… Makes life easier for all involved.
Because of the very challenging lighting that an indoor event involves, we shot a LOT. This means that we can’t reasonably post every shot that’s viable; the sheer volume of work required would be vast.
Offering galleries only to those people that express interest serves the community’s needs as well as balancing our own time for production. And really, there’s no point in processing and posting images that people don’t want to purchase (especially true since we weren’t offering next-day sales).
A comment on another forum questioned our abilities to meet your needs; expressing doubt on whether we could find your dog. As mentioned, we took shots of every handler…
Thanks to those of you who separately forwarded that on to us (with your own very positive comments to offset that).
Our response to anyone that has something negative to say: Take the time to check your sources first; you might be surprised at what you discover…
You may still disagree (and that’s great), but please get the facts first. We can’t please everyone out there, but we do make a very deliberate effort to raise the bar when it comes to being and acting positive – it’s way too small a community.
Best wishes,
Jerry and Lois
