Description

The truck's already running at 3:oo am on a Saturday as his brother climbs in the backseat. On the way over, they go over the area they'll be running the dogs in, and try to figure out who'll be placed where. The truck pulls up to uncles house, as he's been doing for the last 35 years, he's always on time, and of course, the front seat belongs to him. On to the cousins house to get him and the kids, one is 15, the other's 13, they've both been on a few hunts already. Besides, it's their responsibility to feed and care for the dogs after school, a job which they do with enthusiasm. The hounds can feel the ground beneath their feet already, so they're so excited, it's electricity in the air, everyone knows their part, and they know this is what family is about, this is how a well oiled machine works, this is where responsibility is taught, this is what's been going on for years. The prelude to when the hounds actually hit the ground running has passed, now it's time for business, let the hounds sing their song, and whether you call it swamp music, backwoods banter, or good ole country music, it's the sweetest sound houndsmen/women can hear!. The old jeeps and various vehicles line the edges of the woods as the sound of hearts beating are hightening in their intensity by the baying that's also beginning to peek. I had to capture this kind of beauty on canvas because it's what I do, bring back the best of memories.
