Beach Dogs is a photography project that reflects the visual
and emotional experiences of going to the beach with your pooch. No place
is more enjoyable for a canine than going to the beach, an experience that
is shared by us humans just as profoundly. Our own senses are heightened
when we see and experience our companions at the peak of their emotional
capacity. And it shows. During the course of this project, I found people
to be more friendly, more relaxed, more open, and more happy when
they were with their pets. "May I take a picture?" was always
acknowledged with an enthusiastic,
"but of course!", which was then followed by long and exhilarating tales
of their pets' humorous mannerisms, thoughtful expressions, thoughtless
accidents, and sometimes tragic endings. The breadth of human emotion
can be experienced through ones life with a pooch.
Most of these photos were taken on various beach of San Francisco:
Ocean Beach, Baker Beach, and Fort Funston, in the summer and fall of 2001.
Images are best viewed in slideshow format so you see
the larger, high-resolution images. The smaller ones (as you see
them on this page) are for index purposes only.
