Take Your Dog to Work with William Wegman

Guys: It’s June 20th. You know what that means? It’s Take Your Dog to Work Day! My PhotoShelter compatriots either do not have dogs, or are blatantly ignoring this special day. I’ve therefore spent all morning wrangling some of William Wegman‘s. I think Wegman has been unfairly categorized as a sort of Hallmark Greeting Card photographer (or maybe he made some poor marketing decisions in the ’80s); I’ve always thought his Weimaraner images were pretty thoughtful and fun. I was even more convinced when I saw a biographical PBS documentary last year– It’s nice to be reminded of Wegman’s short films and paintings. He was making hilarious video work way back in the seventies. See some clips down at the bottom. But now for some pooches:
Screen Saver, 2006
Evergreen, 2001
Bed, 2006
U-Tree, 1992
Dressed to Mill, 2006
Untitled, 1993
3D Shadow, 1993
Feet First, 2006
Paw, 1993
