Although he passed away in 2000, June 30, 2009, is my late father's 100th birthday. This studio portrait of him and his dog Clover was taken in 1912. He was born in the little logging town of Clatskanie, Oregon, and seems to have inherited his father's innate love of and deep abilities with dogs and horses, even though his dad died only shortly after this photo was taken, from an injury suffered in a logging accident. I've been thinking about sharing some of my old family photos with Shorpy viewers for a long time, and my dad's centenary finally got me going.
Happy birthday, Will's dad! There's also a color photo.
