"Dogs on Rocks" - William Wegman






A recent purchase from Sand Piper Books (http://www.uniquebrighton.com/htm/t20070524.480179.htm) in Brighton, Kensington Gardens. This book really surprised me as the subject matter is not something that I would usually be drawn to, but the combination of beautiful layout and paper stock with some amazingly lit and colored images was enough to tempt me. The images span a 10 year period of photographing the dogs on the Maine coast and the bleakness of some of the coastal shots is what for me makes the images really engaging. The layout remains consistent through out the book along with numbers and a list of plates at the back of the book.
