Dump Shacks and Dogs Photo
Another found neg from the dump series. Found this while searching through my box of 5x7 negatives made in the dump in 2016. I have always scanned and used another version of this composition before. In that exposure the dogs have different head positions. Now, I think I now prefer this one. Will submit it as a possible photo to be included in the "Shades of Grey" magazine story (opening, establishing picture?). It might also eventually used in the UNB exhibition.

When I was making this picture one early morning in the dump. I kept
thinking "DOGS DON'T MOVE!!!" The dogs are rather skittish in the dump,
most are wild and afraid of people, so setting up a 5x7 view camera and
going through all the camera operation steps could have easily spooked
them. The dogs thou stayed put and allowed me to make 3 or 4 exposures.
Thank you dump dogs (maybe they remembered I would feed them sometimes,
maybe a good karma thingy). The brown dog in the foreground was a bit of
a pet, and would hang around peoples homes, so he might have been a tad
more tame.
The homes in the background are where some of the families lived at that time. Around 2017 the homes were demolished as they were too close to a new roadway and the authorities did not like the message the buildings were sending. The people were moved to a more hidden far off place in the dump, and their shack homes were knocked down.
