I tried something new today. Instead of looking through popular tags or the recent “Interesting” photos on Flickr, I just checked out the feed of recent uploads. According to Flickr, there were some 5,000 photos uploaded in the last minute. I hit reload a few times and skimmed through a few dozen pics. There was some junk, some random product photos, some party snapshots, and a few interesting shots. But this puppy was too cute to pass up…

I guess it’s a new version of dogs playing poker. I spent a few minutes looking through frantonial’s photostream, too, and saw the rest of this shoot. In the picture above, I was a bit disappointed by the lighting – I think the foreground and the table/chips are a bit under-exposed. But I’m thinking that’s cause the puppy was moving about, defying the un-moving nature of the lighting set up. The dog is just adorable, and I think this pic is my favorite from the shoot…
