Anxious at a dog show. Bourg-en-Bresse, 2002.

 

    There were lots of dogs, everywhere in the huge hall des expositions of Bourg-en-Bresse. And lots of masters too. Always very close, in all senses of the word, to each other. It was a very competitive dog show and you could feel both human and canine tension in the air. When I saw this woman waiting for her dog's turn to compete, I noticed that both of them were similarly stressed as if at a parent-teacher meeting and took their picture.
