Search and Rescue

K-9 Fausto and his handler, Bob Massey have been part of the Ventura County K-9 Search and Rescue Team since 2003. His job with the Sheriff’s Department is to help locate missing individuals. From an object with the person’s scent, he trails for  many miles over a multitude of surfaces long after the subject has left the scene. I met the team at Dining With Dogs, a 2011 fundraising event, for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department and Ventura County Search and Rescue. I was captured by the handsomeness of his face, Fausto’s that is. He attended the opening of my show and seemed pleased with the likeness. Though he did think I could have added a few more folds.

     I strive to capture that moment when animals are trying to cross the species’ communication barrier.
