GREYHOUND PIC WANTED
Silly request: does anyone have a personal photo of a greyhound they'd like to see used in a Knopf collage illustration? I need a relatively hi-res image of a greyhound. It cannot be an image protected by trademark or copyright, as it will be used for reproduction. Anyone interested can post here. I'm trying to find a greyhound, but the little buggers are cooped up indoors when the weather turns.

Thank you for your kind attention.

I'm sure my housemate who is both a photographer and a greyhound devotee has something he'd share.

Let me know if you still need one.

Desperately! I'd be most grateful if a suitable image is available.

I'm using the head of my niece in this collage as well (not to be confused with a dog, mind you...)

Our family dogpet, Captain Crunch, while not greyhound, is redolent somehow of the breed, about his hind quarters (haunches), if only in my own mind. I believe it is the Miniature Pinscher in him. My daughter would be most happy to arrange a photo shoot this afternoon...

The editor was insistent on a greyhound, but I'm certainly happy to try to gt it by her. I'm sure it's a sweet dog, so please send them along!

How does your editor feel about whippets?! lol
(I don't have any photos of those either. But whippets are great!)

Typical hound, temperamental beasty, countermanding a particular beagle, Captain Crunch desires to not become too commercial, and shunned the camera. Sweet, he is, but also a prima donna when provoked.

Here's my Grey, Piggy...

Not the best pictures, but feel free to use if you so desire.

Sweet dog. He looks like Donald Sutherland in the second photo. A triumph!

My greyhound is at a full sprint - the snow gets in the way, but I wondered whether it would be a nice form shot. Most of my photos are realistic (the greyhound is on the couch).

I'll post it at my blog... iamsamiam.wordpress.com
