Artist's Comments

Taken in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico in 2004 these were two dogs that lived across the street from where we were staying (which from this angle could pass for Bosnia, I know, but if you turned around you'd see that this was where the development ended, not the end of the world).

I spent a lot of time reading in the hammock being nudged by these guys, they wanted to play and were well cared for, but I love how this looks like the city was just torn apart and the dogs were the only survivors.

One of four pictures I’ve had in my room for a couple years that merit uploading now that I'm all scanner’d up!

It is a very beautiful picture, I absolutly love the way the dogs look like they totally own the street, one checks the surroundings and his friend basks in the sunlight, safe in the knowledge that it belongs to them.

A wonderful moment, nothing to really fault about it to be honest.

It does look like a boulevard of broken dreams here, doesn't it?
I guess if you're going to have your dreams broken by the beach is the place to do it :P

Thank you very much, my only regret about this one is I lost the original & the negative so it only exists here!
