Last Week In Photography - Pets And The People They Own

Anyone who “owns” an animal knows full well the animal is the true owner.

Bad weather walks, expensive food and vet bills, middle of the night wet nose in the ear are all par for the course.

The obvious other side of the coin is the companionship, unconditional love, sheer fun and the inevitable statement “Sorry, I can’t move… there’s a cat on me”.

Back in the mid 1960s I lived in a 5th floor 2 room walk-up apartment in the East Village in New York City with my then wife, a cat, two Afghan Hounds and a rescued Great Dane so I get it!

These photos are a combination of my son’s dog just prior to a much needed clipping and a pair of customer’s dogs.. all photographed in my studio with a brief burn off some energy break in the snow.

Clicking on the composites will display them full size.
