Every Nomad Needs A Place That Feels Like Home, Pets Too #DogwoodWeek10 Environmental

3/19/2016

Typist: Bethany
When my brother and I were in school full time, my family did most of our traveling in the summer. The annual forlorn feeling of saying farewell to most of my toys as we packed everything into another storage space quickly gave way to the excitement of a new summer of adventures on the road. While our travels back and forth across North America always included visits to various family and friends, it was when we arrived on the shores of Chautauqua Lake, New York, that young nomadic me felt at home. Once the family van was safely parked near the big white, bat filled barn at Bompa and Nee Nee's house, I didn't waste a second thinking about the stuff in storage thousands of miles away. The dogs and I splashed in the creek, ran in the grass, and lounged on the stone porch. At this young age I learned that every nomad needs a place that feels like home, pets too.

"Show a subject in their natural habitat. Their place of work or hobby is a great start. Tell their story with the environment."

While I do not consider cages and crates to be the pet's natural habitats, they truly enjoy time in their own private spaces, at home or on the road. Photographing the pets in their place of work or hobby, which I hope the dogs, cat and cockatoo would agree is being out on adventures or at sports, is what I do all the time. Don't get me wrong! I love it. But photos of the pets at home, at rest, was more of a photography challenge. Plus, I captured these photos just before Jason and I left on the first pet-free trip we have taken in almost two years. It comforts me to see how relaxed these furry and feathery nomads are just hanging out at home.
Where do you feel most at home?

I have been reading your blog for a long time and I don't think I have ever seen a photo of Leo in his cage! These portraits do tell a story of well-cared for and super loved pets. Nicely done!

Thank you Susan! The only caged cockatoo photo I remember posting previously is here: http://www.cascadiannomads.com/pet-adventure-blog/when-the-circus-comes-to-town I like how that old shot shows the enormity of Leo's cage! Sometimes being comfortably safe at home isn't such a bad thing.

I need to catch up...LOL!! This is a great idea to show the animals in their environment. And I totally agree that giving them their own "space" is nice and I know mine enjoy it.
