This is going to be a personal one. Since young age I never felt I belonged anywhere , I always tried to force to fit in in places just not to be alone, however, there was one place I always felt safer, calmer , happier - it was when I was surrounded by animals , especially dogs. They had the calming effect on me , no words were needed, no pretence /masks necessary to be able to feel at ease. So here I am
14 years into my photography career stating that I no longer want to post photos without giving the animals the voice they don’t have. Animals have feelings , they grief, they suffer , they get depressed. Dogs carry a healing purpose in our lives. Their calm energy softens our stress and restores balance, reminding us to live in the present moment where true peace exists. They embody trust and unconditional faith, showing us that it is safe to open our hearts. Many take on our heavy emotions, helping us learn to release and heal. Through our bond with them, we practice a unity that reaches beyond species, preparing us for deeper harmony with all beings.
The way you treat animals and those most vulnerable tells me everything I need to know who you are, I’m going to go a step further I don’t trust people who don’t like animals. It hurts me to my core that landlords don’t allow dogs and kennels are overflowing with abandoned animals. THIS IS WRONG!
If you have a pet who you love with all heart please include them in your photos- they’re part of your story, your family. You are their whole world even though they might only be a small part of yours.
If I had one dream only -it was to change people’s view of the role that animals play in our lives , to look at them not as inferior species but actually beings we can learn so much from 🙏
