The beach huts make another excellent backdrop for a shoot. Just so the whole scene isn't completely empty. It’s a good spot to take photos. Simple, minimalist art. Right when you need an element in the frame, a few figures with dogs appear. If I had a dog – once it sees the sea – are these coastal dogs different in nature? I mean, similar to people. City folk versus the ones from the coast. City folk crave the quiet, far away from it all, while the ones from small towns are fascinated by the buzz of the big city.

Wonder if it's the same for dogs. If the ones living in the center of a massive city, used to hearing nothing but cars and elevators, dream of a huge pile of sand and endlessly long walks every single day. And vice versa, if these beach hounds who know nothing but salty, wet wind and the stench of dead fish long for something bigger. The city must have a million different hiding spots, smells, sounds, cats, people, and dogs...
