Helping us See Again...Beyond Critiques of American Consumer Fetishism

+ Excellent, beautiful book!

I loved this book, partly because I love this photographer's eye. Are the pictures documentary? Sure. Are they wry? Often, though not always.

I do everything I can to portray and present these dogs as the family and companion ...
