This photo caused a little controversy when exhibited. A guest at the gallery wanted to know why I took it and why I showed it. I told her because we see death every day and choose to ignore it...not just as individuals, but as a society. She asked if I took photos of rape, too. I laughed and told her look, it's not like I found the dog and took it around trying to find the best shot. It was there. I took the photo. It was a slice of time that stands as a metaphor for much more.
