Album , Fate At Sleep. Four Images. A Study In The Grace Of Dogs

by Jon Katz

I see “Fate At Rest photos” as a study of dogs’ grace and beauty. Dogs, like cats, sleep a lot. There are lessons to be learned from the way they sleep, and they always seem able to go to sleep and sleep deeply. I’ve been trying to capture this beauty with Fate, a beautiful and intense dog.

She works hard and runs hard all day; she sleeps hard and deeply whenever she is in the house. She is high-energy and eager to work.

I’m trying to capture this beauty in my photos. Take a  look. She started with her head hanging from her dog bed and curled in Zinnia’s bed.

The photos were taken with my Iphone 15 Pro Max. The phone’s new Zoom feature helps.

Fate moves every five or ten minutes; although I rarely see her move, it’s quiet and natural.

 

 

Her head and her legs are almost always sticking out.

This is how she slept last night after trying every other place to put her slim legs.

  1. Love the photos. Especially the dog ones. I’ve loved and lost many dogs in my life and they have everyone taken a piece of my heart with them. This one I have now is probably my last as I’m getting close to 80 years old and don’t want to leave one behind not knowing what would happen to it. I think I love her more intensely than any of them because I know she’s the last.
