Look what John Fish and his dog Banjo are up too, not dog-themed but obviously, judging from the photo above, dog supported…

I'm playing around with my mom's old Polaroid SX-70 and Impossible Project PX 70 Push film. Exposure issues but I like the dreamy quality. Developing…
Have a great weekend.
For every one of his fantastic shots, photographer Peter Funch stakes out a busy New York City street corner, capturing hundreds of moments over the course of several weeks from the same spot. Then, he digitally combines real scenes into one surreal super scene. Suddenly, all the people who passed him while dressed in black re-appear simultaneously. Every single person in Times Square is a picture-snapping tourist. Everyone on a Lower East Side street has a little dog. Everyone is yawning. Everyone has balloons. The happenings in his “fictional documentary” series Babel Tales aren’t lies, they’re truths exaggerated. — Maria Galperina

I recently did an interview with Andrew Pinkham, one of my favorite photographers. Visit Andrew Pinkham's Creative Photography Blog to read it and see how this puppy named Darby inspired Dog Art Today and gave me a life. Also, my thoughts about contemporary dog art, lessons from a four-year veteran blogger, and my three favorite dog art books.
Thank you, Andrew.
Photographer Jesse Freidin has partnered with the Impossible Project, the company that has managed to save Polaroid film from extinction, for a New York City-based May 25, 2011 evening seminar called The Art of Instant Dog Photography. Attendees will be provided with the newest Impossible Project Film and refurbished Polaroid cameras (or feel free to bring your own). Jesse will teach you how to get strong exposures with your old Polaroid cameras, and the best ways to connect with your canine subjects. The event promises to be a night of capturing magical moments, celebrating the unknown, and controlling the unexpected.
I am a longtime fan of Jesse's work. He is one of the few photographers who continues the tradition of analog in a digital world. And I don't know anyone more passionate about instant photography and its revival. To register and get more information about The Art of Instant Dog Photography seminar, visit the Impossible Blog. To schedule a portrait session with Jesse Freidin or learn more about his work, visit his website. To see his recent instant dog series click here.
Rebecca Frankel is the deputy managing editor of ForeignPolicy.com, and she writes a weekly war-dog feature there. This week, she produced a stunning photo essay on contemporary dogs of war. There is continuing speculation about the dog who accompanied the 79 Navy SEALs on their May 1, 2011 mission. I am rooting for Cara.

Thank you Tim Quinlivan and my cousin, Clair "Answer Girl" Lamb for sending me this link.
Start with either Lord or Lady. Your first name is one of your grandparents' names. Your surname is the name of your first pet, hyphenated with the name of the street you grew up on.
So, technically, I am Lady Roseadele Kitty-Norwood.
But in honor of Dog Art Today, please use the name of your first dog and the street where he or she first came to live with you. Therefore I am…
Lady Roseadele Darby-Briar.
What's yours?
I hope the wedding is as carefree as this game. I think our national media has gone insane.

Although he is not identified, I am pretty sure this is Picasso's beloved Dachshund, Lump, whom he met in 1957. Via Slate.
Happy weekend.
