The Bark Ball

I was recently invited to photograph the Washington Humane Society's 20th Annual Bark Ball, hailed as "Washington's only formal evening for the 'four-on-the-floor' crowd." This was my first time attending and I didn't realize that so many people brought their dogs to the event. It was incredible, and a lot of fun too! There were dogs of all sizes, and I was amazed at how well-behaved they all were.

The festivities included a silent auction, dinner and dancing. They also showed a slideshow with images from my Day in the Life session with the WHS staff. James Carville and Mary Matalin chaired the event and brought along their own pack of dogs (four or five, I lost count). A good time was had by all. Congratulations to the great staff of the Washington Humane Society for putting on such a successful event.
