Description ....am working since a while on a "in-the-street-animals" series. for this I keep shooting, devloping and printing new shots in the darkroom but also, go through my older negatives. right now they are on a 18x24 baryt prints but should be printed (never got this terme as it's done in a classical way and not with a stupid printer) bigger to be exhibited later.....
Of course, I don't know personally the animals or their owners but ppl are often very proud of their "friends" and happy to be photographed (them included)

for this shot, I were talking with a friend next to his gallery (where six of my photos are, a little self promotion can't be bad) as this tough guy pulled his lady owner around. just had the time to jump in front of them, give a lil smile to the woman and start shooting that fellow. he just wouldn't stand still but that's the challenge aswell in street shots.

done with a german rangefinder camera and scanned from a tetnal vario baryt print

....it's just the frame of the negative as the frame I put in the enlarger is a bit bigger then the image on the negative.....for some enlarger you have to retouche those frames

hmm...ok I think I might make the frame bigger on my enlarger then... thanks

Even though there's some flatness to other areas of the image, the way that dog is composed and how it's acting is just priceless, and I like the tones of his fur anyway.

Nice capture, definitive moment

what you call flatness is due to the reproduction of a computer screen. has to been seen on its fiber based support
