The Neanderthal may not have had the ability for complex speech like the Cro Magon (The ancestors of Homo sapiens) – us folks. So, how did they communicate? Maybe the answer is more like dogs and horses – through extensive use of their eyes.

Therefore, we photographers and artists are sort of Neanderthal – we communicate with images!!! Quiet – not like a Rock Band!

When I trained Dyna Mite the first thing I taught her was “Watch Me.”  When we did agility competition – each course is unique and you must communicate with your dog-partner to tell them which obstacle  to do next. I could run a new course with Dyna without saying a word – we communicated through my body language – she watched me. 10 years later she still watched people a lot!

Watching and body language

Watching - for food most likely but still communication with body language
