Silence
Posted in pikkers on January 28th, 2012 by emma – Be the first to commentI saw this in The Guardian a while back and just remembered it this morning. It makes me smile. It also makes me want to cry, like a little kid who doesn’t know how to react. Do I smile? Do I cry? I smile-cry.
MUTE: the silence of dogs in cars by Martin Usborne
When I started this project I knew the photos would be dark. What I didn’t expect was to see so many subtle reactions by the dogs: some sad, some expectant, some angry, some dejected. It was as if upon opening up a box of grey-coloured pencils I was surprised to see so many shades inside.
I hope that these pictures are engaging and perhaps a little amusing. I want to show that there is life in the dark places within us.
I will stop writing now and you can stop reading. Words can only get us so far.
After all, we are all animals.
