Artist's Comments

this is obviously not a kitty shot. it is my parents' siberean husky who is tired of being lazy all day.

scan from print.

the shot is called "the burned dog" because that is what my darkroom-classmates called it when they saw it in the developing-tray. it took like ten tries to get the exposure and burning the way i wanted them. everything on this picture has been done by hand, the exposure, the cropping, the burning. i shot kodak tri-x 400 in a manual camera, developed the film myself in d-76 and finally printed it (on grad 2 semi matte paper) the way you can see it here. no digital editing, i just added a small frame to make it stand out from the deviant grey.

the burned dog is the first dog photo I've ever featured if I recall correctly, and as it happens, it will be the last one too for now. This shot truly deserves the attention, as I'm sure even the thumb will tell you in an instant... The sort of distorted effect and surreal aggression that jumps at you are simply something else... Very cool capture by ~Tuamas, a familiar subject done with an original style. (Suggested by ~Coga and Featured by `suzi9mm)

"My only aim was to express reality, for there is nothing more surreal than reality itself. If reality fails to fill us with wonder, it is because we have fallen into the habit of seeing it as ordinary."

"Thirteen's an unlucky number. If thirteen's unlucky, then so should the letter B be. Cuz B looks like a scrunched together thirteen. "Hello. What's your name?" "BOB" "Get the fuck away!""
