The Black Dog’s PhotoBlog

Wow, has the world been going around fast these days.
So here’s just a sneak peek of a recent meeting with my dear and long-time friend with her daughter. I’ll have to share more of these pictures with you at a later time.

Edge of the Earth, Corner of the Sky by Art Wolfe and Art Davidson
I love this guy’s work. I’ve been watching his ‘Travels to the Edge’ series for some time and have wanted one of his books. I couldn’t be more pleased with this book. I love to sit and study his work. This book is just filled with amazing landscapes. Art Wolfe has captured some sites that I think the normal person would have overlooked and turned them into beautiful works of art.

Now I’m really looking forward to more of his books and especially his new book coming in May 2009.

Available for pre-order through Amazon:

Honestly, as a photographer, you get many people who tell you that in order to be successful in this business you must focus your talents or specialize in just one genre of photography. Art Wolfe must have ignored those people and I’m glad. Many of his photographs are spectacular from his landscapes to wildlife to people, its all great viewing. It’s incredible

‘Old Friends: Great Dogs on the Good Life’ by Mark J. Asher
I also have to add one to the dog books. Actually this is both a photography book and a dog book that I’ve owned for a number of years but still enjoy viewing it.
In this book Mr. Asher has put together some great photography work of senior dogs with some wonderful comments on living life from a dog’s prospective. This is a book that will make you smile and possibly even chuckle a time or two.
