The Tripawd Name

Tripod  trīpäd (noun): a three-legged stand for supporting a camera or other apparatus.

Tripawd  trīpäd (noun): a beloved three-legged (three-pawed) pet.  

Angel was my own precious little tripawd poodle.  She was hit by a car and narrowly survived.  She endured multiple surgeries including an amputation.  After a long recovery she was back to being a happy, energetic little girl and my constant companion. She passed in 2015 and I miss her constantly.

I tried to commemorate her first steps after the accident using a point and shoot camera, with very disappointing results.  This began my photography journey and I have loved every step of the way. The Tripawd Photography name was a perfect fit, combining the photography tool (tripod) and the inspirational story of Angel.
