Normally I think I might be adverse to the whole "me and my dog" art journey thing. However, the somewhat twisted or backwards feel that exists in some of William Wegman's work is very intriguing. He plays with the recognizable form of a dog (a Weimeraner to be exact) in a variety of ways. Either he dresses them up in clothing, or other materials, or uses the dogs' natural poses themselves. While some of his canine photography and prints focus more on exploring the dogs' form in a more classical or symbolic sense, there is always an element of playfulness in his work.
