The Dog and I, 2009

cool and precise telling of a story Jack; a frame that seduces with smart clean design and old school wit and charm --- a photograph instantly added to my private collection; no hesitation!

Only the essential is framed here, purified classic. Funny, but I can't help seeing two pairs of eyes staring at me...

Hi Jack,

  Well seen & photographed, with a adorable little dog.  Take care, Patsy

Very good observation Jack, in this shot we don't get to the human actors, they are packaged up with the neat little guard rail impeding our view, we are only able to witness the shoes they wear. Nicely framing your subject matter, the bitch is on the watch, protecting its massa.....Killer

Love the composition.  The identity of the people here is not important & it was a good decision to crop the way you did.  They may not be aware of your presence but the dog surely is.  Released from his leash he would likely come to you, though not in anger it looks to me.  My impression is the same as Patsy's.  Great street shot.  Keep 'em coming.  Best, Len.

Elliot Erwitt would get a kick out of this!  That may be as high a praise as there is in my book.  I absolutely love it.  In the background under the rail it appears there "The Wave" is forming--a mini-Hokusai.  I am delighted I took a moment to check in tonight.  

You and the dog are having your own conversation while the other two have theirs.
