 找一個家:狗的收容所攝影全記錄



   2005年起攝影師Traer開始拍攝動物收容所的狗,透過他的鏡頭讓這些在等待、尋找更多收養家庭的狗對家庭的貢獻無處不在的形象得以鮮明,立體起來。每一隻狗和家的生活,皆以不屈不撓的性格和精神展現出來:例如,Morrissey這隻小鬥牛梗,直到進入有四個孩子的家庭後才治好分離焦慮;Bingley在一次緝毒行動中失去了聽力,之後如何由一個充滿愛意的家庭收養,克服聾犬生活。人的個性、生活和選擇一起相處的狗之間,經過生命經驗的擴展與分享,這些故事協助我們對人生有更多的了解和觀察,體會到通往新家的道路對狗狗們而言或許並不平坦,也總有情緒需要過渡,但牠們和其它的狗並不二致,對相處的家人付出一樣無所不在。<博客來編譯>

Bold, retiring, serious, sparkling, quirky, or lovable--the dogs in Traer Scott’s remarkable photographs regard us with humor, dignity, and an abundance of feeling.

Scott began photographing these dogs in 2005 as a volunteer at animal shelters. Her first book, Shelter Dogs, was a runaway success, and in this follow-up, Scott introduces a new collection of canine subjects, each with indomitable character and spirit: Morrissey, a pit bull, who suffered from anxiety-related behaviors brought on by shelter life until adopted by a family with four children; Chloe, a young chocolate Lab mix, surrendered to a shelter by a family with allergies; Gabriel and Cody, retired racing greyhounds; and Bingley, a dog who lost his hearing during a drug bust but was brought home by a loving family that has risen to the challenge of living with a deaf dog.

Through extended features we become better acquainted with the personalities and life stories of selected dogs and watch as they experience the sometimes rocky and always emotional transition to new homes. The portraits in Finding Home form an eloquent plea for the urgent need for more adoptive families, as well as a tribute to dogs everywhere.
