these two Pit Bulls are siblings, and were shot at the East Valley Animal Shelter.

This is part of my Shelter & Rescue Dog exhibit, showing through May in Long Beach, CA.

In the This Is Who We Are photo essay.

    yes :) photographed. i guess when photographing shelter dogs, I should avoid the word "shot."
    These two were sweethearts. These dogs really do have such a bad reputation. I spent about 10 minutes with every dog in this shelter, I'd say at least half were Pits, and they were all as sweet as they could be.

    An Incredibly intense stare from the dog in the center of the frame. Really impressive capture!
