The shaman I have been seeing in my soul retrieval work – her name is Carol Tunney – has two dogs, Bernese/Husky mixes, Jack and Jill. Both are approaching 14 years old, both are coming near to the end of their time and this week I went to her home to photograph the two dogs. Her own cameras were destroyed in a fire last year. I take photographs of dogs on the edge of life often, it is something I am drawn to to and love to do, capturing their beautiful spirits as they end their time with us. Jill does not often look at a camera, I was told, but she looked at mine, and I loved what it saw in those gentle and peaceful eyes.
