I could have easily made a cliché shot of the three cute white dogs posing for me on a park bench, and it might have been a lovely cliché at that. But I wanted to do more with this image. The incongruity of the three leashes coming together on the ground, the distracted brown dog at left who wants nothing to do with its colleagues, and the hand of the owner extending a bag of dog droppings into the frame, all combine to create a surreal scene. I held my camera over my head and shot down, leading the eye diagonally from the poop sack at left to the leashes on the sidewalk at lower right.
