JOHN & BUSTER

One of the great joys as a photographer is creating a portrait with a special story. John had contacted me about photographing him and his dog Buster. I had John come by the studio to show him samples and to talk about his relationship with his dog. I asked John tell me a little about Buster. John looked at me with tears welling up in his eyes and said "I don't think I can talk about that". After sometime talking about other things like print sizes and frames, John told me that Buster had cancer. He wanted a photograph of them in a field where they go walking at Green Hill Park in Salem. So here are two images we created for John and Buster. This is why we do what we do. It is always the story behind the request that helps us create something very special.
