Dogs in Motion: 1
Hungry Walls is a virtual gallery that features one photographer a month. Each week a different online show from that artist is mounted and the photographs are available for purchase. You can even buy the whole series. But once the show is gone, the photos are gone too.
This month, one of my favorite photographers graces the Hungry Walls, Susan Sabo. Week two features her series of Dogs in Motion and Dogs at Rest. In the accompanying interview Susan discusses how the tragic loss of all three of her dogs, Buzz, Gracie and Lola, within the span of 12 months now imbues her work:
I'm definitely shooting with more intent, and trying to make my work more meaningful, to me or to the people I'm shooting for. Where I used to just shoot for the hell of it, I find myself going for a week or more without shooting now. if there's no purpose to it, I won't do it
Then Asked, If you could take the portrait of anyone, living or dead, who would it be? Susan replied:
My heart goes out to you Susan. I hope that you can find comfort in your work's new focus and that somehow each day gets a little easier.
