Assignment 3

For this assignment I chose to document my house. But, you're probably thinking otherwise. I chose to document my house, but I wanted to do it in a very unconventional way. So, I incorporated my dogs into it.The reason I wanted to do this was because I feel like most people take their pets for granted. As humans we have the power to travel and go to far away places and see so many amazing things, but after all of that we come to our pets. Our pets who stay in the same house for their entire lives, eat the same food, and their only job is to love their owner. You could leave for weeks, and your pet would still be happy to see you when you came home. They forgive easily, and love unconditionally.

My family has had a lot of pets in the past, and they've all fit perfectly with our personality as a family; except for these dogs. Now, don't get me wrong I love these dogs with all my heart. They're the sweetest dogs on the planet. But, they are pure bred bird dogs. So they're very energetic and full of energy whereas my family is very laid back and relaxed. We like to hang around the house, and our dogs like chasing chipmunks. So I wanted to explore that relationship as well. None of these pictures have my family in them so I wanted to create a feeling of isolation.

As you can tell, all of these pictures were taken at my house, but from my dogs' perspectives. The kitchen, the dining room, living room and patio are all displayed here how my dogs see them and what they do everyday in these places. I chose to present these pictures in black and white because I didn't want any distractions from the different colors, I just wanted you to focus on the dogs, and how they're seeing/reacting to each environment. Plus I wanted to kinda give off a 'film' feel, instead of them looking like they were taken with a digital camera.
