We were surprised and saddened to read the news on Facebook yesterday that long-time disc dog photographer Wayne Ramsay had passed away at the age of 72 on November 5, 2021. Unfortunately, we can now confirm that the news is true.
Wayne became our World Championship Staff Photographer in 2011 and held that position through 2019 when he suffered a stroke followed by COVID 19, leading to medical issues from which he never recovered.
We met Wayne through the MadDog Club in 2011 as we were looking for a World Championship photographer. He photographed many of their Qualifiers and came highly recommended. After looking at his photos, we inquired about his experience and asked whether he considered himself to be a professional photographer. What follows is his typical humble answer...
"I don't consider myself a professional photographer, but I have sold some pictures through my website. I guess that makes me a professional, but I'll always consider myself a self-taught advanced amateur. I have never charged a fee to photograph an event (I do have a real job). I have settled on dogs and sports as my main interests. Other than disc dog events, I shoot high school baseball, football, basketball, soccer, and lacrosse. I shoot basketball for an online magazine for the University of Maryland. And my son plays baseball at Maryland and I shoot most of their games. I was credentialed for Maryland basketball, but all the other stuff was done "from the stands." I do it because I (and the parents) enjoy it."
Everyone loved Wayne’s disc dog photos and appreciated the time and effort he took to get the perfect shot. Over the years, we learned to appreciate his unique sense of humor and enjoyed teasing him about his University of Tennessee football team.
With literally tens of thousands of photos to choose from, it is impossible to select Wayne's "best" photos. However, as a representative sample, we have included one photo from each year he shot at the World Championship to this post (2011-2019).
Here is a link to his website where you can view a much wider assortment of his photos including those taken at agility and dock diving events as well as photos from traditional "ball sports" like baseball and football, etc. www.wayneramsayphotography.com
Wayne was loved and admired by many and we’re sure he has already set up his tripod and begun taking portraits of dogs as they cross over the rainbow bridge...

I absolutely loved Wayne, and have missed seeing him the last couple of years. He was always so nice to me, and respected that I just enjoyed taking pictures; never treating me like an idiot if I couldn’t answer any of his questions. Ha! We had a lot of laughs together through the years at the various world championships.
He was a wonderful photographer I have several of his pictures! He was a amazing person, always kind and willing to help in any way he could. He will be greatly missed . Prayers to his family
He will truly be missed. He always captured those precious moments we shared with our dogs.
Another sad loss.
We are all deeply saddened by news of the sudden passing of Jeffrey Brad Stanaway on Thursday, December 2, 2021, at the age of 55.
Jeff, along with his Australian Shepherd Cory, were the 2003 Skyhoundz World Canine Disc Champions. They were one of only a handful of teams in the modern disc dog era to win an Open Division World Championship without including any vaults in their Freestyle rounds. Jeff’s competitive efforts always featured excellent disc management, variety, consistency, and strong D/A rounds.
In 2006 Jeff and Cory joined Peter Bloeme, Frank Montgomery, and Jeff Perry in introducing canine disc sports to China with numerous performances in Shanghai. On that trip, we learned how much of a big kid he really was. Jeff not only delighted the audience with his performances but kept us laughing during the tour. Jeff was a genuine American "meat and potatoes" kind of guy...even in China! An example of his humor was at his annual Aussie Fest event, where he offered free "tail docking" for all Border Collies!
Jeff also served as Chief Judge at the Skyhoundz World Championship for a number of years, and was an active member of the MadDogs (Mid-Atlantic Disc Dogs) Club, holding numerous disc dog competitions, and training his dogs for both disc and agility.
In reflecting on this loss, Ray Lowman of the MadDogs Club said, "Jeff has been a dear friend to many of us MAD Doggers for a long time being one of the Clubs' Cofounders. He had a passion for his dogs, the sport we all love, his family, and life. He is the type of friend we all long to be."
This past summer, Jeff took some time off to tour all of the Virginia State Parks with his 14-year old daughter Emily. They kayaked, biked, ran, walked, hiked, and camped together, making memories that, in time, will sustain Emily during difficult times.
Though we have lost Jeff in this world, a number of people in dire need will benefit because Jeff, generously, was an organ donor.
While it was way too soon for all of us, we’re betting that Jeff departed life in the way he would have chosen…just after petting his canine Harper at the conclusion of their agility round at a competition in his home state of Virginia.
Please join us in sending positive thoughts and prayers to Jeff’s wife Angie, his daughter Emily, and the rest of the Stanaway family during this difficult time. We will add further details as they become available.
We have added a video of Jeff and Cory from the 2003 World Championship on the Skyhoundz home page.

So heartbreaking. Prayers and Condolences for his family as they go through this difficult time. He truly will be missed.
A great tribute, Peter.
Such a devastating loss for his family and our community, I am still trying to process it. He was a great guy, and I will always remember his kindness when I was a newbie.
Well said by you Peter as well as Ray's comments. Jeff was not only just a wonderful person but also a pioneer in our club and in our sport. He also was a mentor, both hands on and from a distance, to many of us when we started out in the sport. Jeff was one of those that we looked up to and tried to emulate his success with Cory and his other dogs. He will not only be missed but he will certainly be remembered.
So sad to hear of Jeff's passing, prayers for his family and extended disc family.
Such sad news. Beautiful tribute for such a kind person.
Jeff will truly be missed. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
RIP Jeff
What a great ambassador for Aussies and Disc agility. RIP good and Faithful Servant - your family will take from here.
So sad for Jeff's family.
Jeff leaves a large hole in many hearts ♥️
So very sad. Prayers go out to his family & friends.
My heart breaks … prayers to his family
