Four-Legged Photo: The Lucky 7 in Black and White

For those of you who don't know, The Lucky 7 is an art show that I display around town and on the web to help the long-term residents at the Oregon Humane Society find homes. I photograph seven animals every other month who are having trouble being placed in the right home. There are museum-style displays of the photographs at about a dozen different businesses who are very supportive of animal rescue: Intel, Cupcake Jones, The Dog House, Mt. Hood Medical, Cafe Destino, Lexi Dog (multiple locations), PetUtopia & The Burrito Bar. Every two months, the photos are replaced by volunteers with the current batch of seven animals.

It's amazing to me how this project has grown over the past year and a half. New businesses regularly contact me wanting to display the photos, wanting to help educate about the number of amazing animals just waiting for homes.

Here's the new batch of photos, all taken in black/white with an eye for photojournalism. Most of these pets are just being themselves, not looking at the camera. My favorite photo is Presley just being a hound dog. Please enjoy the photos here or at the businesses and consider adopting an animal that really needs and deserves a forever home with you.
