WALKING STYXX

Here begins a tale involving a dog, his doting father and their month of walks.

Styxx–shortened from the original Firestyxx–is a lurcher, a greyhound mixed with a little bit of some other breed. But Styxx is every bit greyhound, 80 pounds of muscle bound into a graceful Art Deco form.

It’s summer 2014. Styxx and I head out to distant sites, search hills to climb, prairie to sniff. And it occurs to me that I’m exploring my surroundings in a fresh way.

So I invent a project. We take a month of walks, record our findings as photographs and maps. Psychogeographic walks. Uncharted drifts guided solely by our senses. Styxx, a sight hound with a keen nose, is my guide.
