Dogs

I’ve always loved dogs!

I believe we are all connected, and humans, after all, are also animals. Anyone who has spent any time with a pet inherently knows that animals have emotions, personalities, and family structures, like us. It is these emotions that I try to capture in my dog photography.

At the same time, all too often, we judge animals using human metrics (extent of their language compared to us, reliance on sight, etc.), neglecting that these very animals have abilities that far exceed our own. For instance, time spent with our dogs informs us that they hear and smell things that are far out of our reach. It is now thought that dogs can even tell time through the concentration of particular scents: how long it’s been since you left for work, and as the scent dissipates, how long it might be before you return.

As much as we know about the creatures with which we share our lives, there’s always more that remains unexplored. With each new piece of knowledge we gain, dogs continue to impress and astound us, proving they are far more clever and skilled than we could have imagined! I photograph dogs because I am simply in awe of them. How lucky I am to have met and photographed so many lovely dogs (and their people)!
