"Man’s best friend.

12 years ago I visited a dog shelter in Budapest to document dogs waiting to be adopted or found by their owners.

As I walked through the passage in front of their cages, they all got excited, barked and jumped – trying to convince me to get them out of there right that moment.

After a while they got used to my presence. I could make portraits reflecting deep emotions, like sorrow of being separated, fear of uncertain future; and attitudes, like patience and hope.

What can you read in those eyes?"
