Happy Rusty!
My dog Rusty having a ball at Curracloe yesterday. I got lots of photos of him having fun, but this is my favourite.

About Conor Cullen
I purchased my first camera in May 2012, around the time of my 30th birthday, and it has now become the primary way I populate this site.
I couldn't afford a Porsche.
I'm very much a beginner in photography terms, but I'm having fun trying things out and, hopefully, learning as I go.
I'm addicted to chocolate and have a serious pastry fetish. Especially if those pastries are Danish.
I can't stop listening to music, all the time.
I share many things in common with many older Irish ladies, like a devotion to good cups of tea and a deep love of jumpers that, for some reason, other people don't consider so "cool" unless I'm wearing them ironically.
I'm not wearing them ironically. I wouldn't even know how.
My current favourite jumper is mustard in colour and features three ducks, reminsicent of the ones from Duck Hunt on the original Nintendo. It was a present. Thanks Naomi.
I come alive when I'm creating something or helping someone. I have yet to put this knowledge to satisfactory use. The quest for truly worthwhile living continues.
I am a peaceful person, but if I am ever to be convinced to go to war for any cause your best bet is good manners. I'm not all that moved by religion, power or money, but if you don't just hold that door for a second I could become John Rambo. In a skinny, passive aggressive kind of way.
I love trees.
I have a dog called Rusty. He is very handsome, friendly and charming and will feature in many of my photographs.
Much like me, all Rusty wants is generous amounts of food and attention. And a beach to play on.
The thing I want to hear about most is ideas.
I have a strong interest in digital and social media platforms, particularly how they can be used (imaginatively) in a communications context.
I’m a sandwich enthusiast and innovator. All sandwich suggestions welcome.

Beautiful! I love this picture, just wonderful
Thanks Anette
Such a sweet picture!
Thanks Anna!
“Gotta run, gotta run… gotta run….”
Ha!
Such a free spirit, no worries no hurries. Nice
Reminds me of my Frances. She loves to run… on the beach, in the snow, in the park…away from me. She’s really my husband’s dog when it comes to listening to commands.
Ha! Bit of a free spirit then? Rusty is normally on the lead when we’re out, but there was no-one within a mile of us at the top of the beach yesterday so i let him run free. He loved it! He is very good. He will only go so far and then check to see where you are. He will always follow. That shot is taken after I called him back.
hi rusty!
Hi
Great shot!
Thanks!
He has a huge smile on his face. Fun pic.
Thanks Noah. Happy New Year!
On a pure aesthetic level, the image has beautiful neutral blues that I love, but really what makes it is the emotion on his face! So loveable!
Thanks so much! He’s very loveable
Like a Happy Rocket he is!
Ha! I like that analogy
Now THAT’S a dog smiling! Is there anything more contagious than seeing such pure joy and freedom?! Made me smile – thank you for that! Give Rusty a pat and a treat from me!
Ha! Glad you smiled. He makes me smile all the time! I’ll send a pat and a treat his way with your best wishes!
Soo sweet. We love our dogs, and happy to see your Rusty is a happy dude, as well!
Ha! Thanks. He is in his element right there
I love any picture of a happy dog; Rusty is in his element! You have a great talent; do you sell your work or is it just for pleasure? ~Rainey
Thanks Rainey! Just for fun
Thanks Rainey! Just for fun

Thanks Patricia
Great shot, love the facial expression
Cheers! He’s an expressive dog
