Winston will teach you how to pose.

Either I am coming into my own as a dog photographer or Winston is coming into his own as a male model. Or maybe Winston was just born this way—I haven’t known him long enough to tell. Whatever the recipe, last night Winston turned an elevator bank in 507 West Chelsea into his own personal catwalk/dogwalk and hit me with poses that I honestly haven’t seen since Kim Kardashian last tried to shut down the internet. Have you ever caught yourself in a mirror or a picture at a bad angle and thought—good lord, I don’t actually look like that do I? My friends, Winston can’t relate. He doesn’t have a bad angle.

I forgot to ask his owner, Charlotte, what kind of dog he is. Some type of little collie maybe? Let me know in the comments. In the meantime we’ll try to keep making steady progress for Winston on the dog park or community garden.
