A car passes by, and sure, I see the people inside. If they’re unfamiliar, my brain briefly registers: male or female? But the second there’s a dog in that car? My entire radar snaps on in a blink. Unfamiliar humans become background noise. Why is that? Why do dogs command my attention so completely?
I have the same reaction on the street. Someone is walking a
dog, and I'll naturally greet the humans, but let’s be real—it’s all about
the dog that sparks my attention and moves me to genuine engagement. My
greeting simply serves as a polite step toward getting closer to the good boy
or girl on the leash.
Perhaps this is a normal human instinct; after all, dogs are
the best. But sometimes, I feel a little… obsessive. That's why I've
decided to probe a little further into my own fascination. What is it about
these four-legged friends that makes everything else fade away?
The Inevitable Subject
With this level of devotion, is it any wonder, then, that
I’ve chosen to focus my photography on the one subject I can’t get enough of? DOGS!
Looking back, the choice was inevitable.
On this very day, I stand proudly saying:
"Dogs are my happy place."
It’s where I find joy, focus, and a bottomless supply of
heartfelt, genuine connection.
