'It reminds me of the love I felt for my faithful companion': Tony Hertz’s best phone picture
Shadows glimpsed on a wall at sunset inspired this evocative portrait of the photographer and his dog, Lolly
TL;DR
- Tony Hertz, a photographer with a three-decade career, took a personal photo of his dog, Lolly.
- The photo was taken during a sunset walk in Pismo Beach, California, as Hertz was working on a photography series about shadows.
- Hertz composed the shot by positioning his phone and looking at Lolly so their profiles faced each other in their shadows.
- Lolly, a 15-year-old chow-chow-cocker spaniel mix, died in November from chronic kidney failure.
- The photograph now reminds Hertz of the love he felt for his faithful companion.
