20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Light, Louie, Dog-Man Connection

In many parts of the world there is no connection between a dog and his owner. In those places dogs protect, herd, or are sometimes food. But in America there is often a strong bond between dogs and their people. I love Louie. In this photo he looks directly in my eye. He loves me. I wish I knew what he thins. I also love the composition, the way the light lays.
