Jewelry designer and blogger Wendy B left a comment on the William Wegman post that she was "lucky enough to have Wegman take our dogs'
picture!" And added her impression of Wegman's interaction with her pups. "He was very good with them and knew exactly when they'd had
enough. If anyone was annoyed it was me — by my pooches' bad behavior!" OK, further evidence that the famous photographer is not abusing the animals by putting them in stress positions.
Wendy has graciously shared her custom Wegmans of her Pekingneses, Gigi and the late Chubbs, with us. She scored the session with Wegman at a charity event in 2004 and took the shots at his studio where "various Weimaraners were wandering around the studio and they seemed like calm, happy dogs."
The frame photo was created by holding the dogs behind a painted image on black paper with the middle cut out, and sticking the heads through the opening. Clever.
Excuse the strange perspective. These are large photos hanging in a very narrow hallway. Thank you for sharing Wendy. Oh, and don't forget to visit Wendy's wonderful blog where she writes about medieval history, feminism, dogs and anything else that inspires or annoys her. Her caustic take on all of the above is thoroughly refreshing. And I adore her jewelry, especially her rings.
