Artist Statement In the summer of 2002 while volunteering at The American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, I met, fell in love with and soon after adopted Sammy, a 3-year-old German Shepherd, the namesake of this exhibition. The photographs in this exhibition are of Sammy and the dogs I know as the result of having her. I have met many of them at the dog park, and arranged to photograph them at their homes. Rather than trying to make grand statements, I avail myself to the possibilities that arise once the picture-taking process begins. Being in the presence of dogs has always held a certain kind of excitement for me. Few things make me feel as good. Simply put, they delight me. This collection of color photographs is a tribute to their characters. It is a celebration of their lives and a look at how they enhance ours. This exhibition is supported in part with funds from the Strategic Opportunity Stipends Program through NEW YORK FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS and NEW YORK STATE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS, administered in Mid Hudson by Garrison Art Center.
