Rudy On The Porch

Rudy On The Porch, originally uploaded by rudybeardog.

This is my security system when I sit on the front porch to do some work or whatever. Well, he is one part of our security system at least!

A nice cop pulled over the other day when I was taking photos in front of the house just to say hi. And to tell me that a dog's the best protection one can have. Oh, and to ask what I do for a living.

I told him Rudy rocked. I told him I am a budding writer. It turns out he'd bet his partner that's what I did (when they do patrol and see me, I'm usually on the front porch either typing or writing). He was curious about the camera though since he's seen me around with that too. I told him writing and fine art photography are two of my passions and that if I have writer's block, I'll take pictures to inspire me or the other way around.

Apparently, this nice policeman wants to be a writer too. If I were him, I'd trade the body armor for a keyboard or notebook in a New York minute.

Go Rudy!
