I have become obsessed with guessing dog sizes. Prior to beginning the JoeysCoat project I never paid that much attention. That's not entirely true. My family and friends would likely say that I pay far more attention to the four-legged than the mere two. However, now I would say my focus has gone from an interested gaze to intense scrutiny - visualizing where the buttons will meet, the belt will encircle the chest, the slight scallop frame the tail on the furry beloved who has happened to cross my path. This is how I found Milo. I was behind the camera, pup models in coats that harmonized, shoes chosen to add a touch of wit, and then Milo appeared. He was out for his morning walk. His owner, proprietor and landlord of a number of buildings along Opera Alley in old Tacoma brings him to work with her, and we happened to be in the right place at the right time. It took only a second for me to see that Milo was a perfect JoeysCoat Extra Small. And less than a second to recognize that Milo had all the makings of a JoeysCoat Superstar!
I wish I could take credit for the clever styling of his photos. Milo is the creative director, I am merely the mechanic!
