Alec Soth: Dog Days, Bogota

In 2002 photographer Alec Soth and his wife traveled to Bogota, Columbia to adopt a baby girl. While the paperwork was being processed Alec photographed the city in hopes of capturing the “hard beauty” of his daughter’s birthplace as a keepsake for her.

On October 1, Dog Days, Bogota, the book that came from Soth’s touching intention, and includes many wonderful non-dog images, is available for all photography lovers. Pre-order yours today and cross someone off your Christmas list.

I discovered this book on Modern Art Obsession – a unique blog from an art-loving Wall Street warrior that I’m definitely keeping my eye on.
