Auburn, WA agility event...

In the Zone Photography provided event photo service at Puget Sound Labrador Retrievers Association's AKC agility event at Argus Ranch Facility.

There were over 400 runs on two different rings. They ran Standard and Jumps With Weaves for Expert, Novice, and Open classes. A couple of the dogs earned their MACH title (Master Agility Champion) - a major accomplishment for dog and handler... For more information about the sport of dog Agility see this Wikipedia article.

We drove up to Seattle on Friday night (dodging several accidents happening seconds in front of us thru Tacoma, WA)... and stayed with Erika. We commuted down to Auburn both Saturday and Sunday. Spent all day both days shooting photos, and Wendy tried desperately to keep up with showing participants their pictures and making prints. There was never a time that someone wasn't at our tent buying pictures! Had an awesome time. Was definately worth the trip. It's always a big hit to provide on-site printing of pictures. One person bought pictures for her dog that she'd just finished running 15 minutes prior (dump, preview, and print - within an hour!) Everyone raved about the great quality of the shots - the weather was just right - overcast, but not too dark.
