William Wegman

This may be a bit off topic.......

Well I was watching a show on Animal planet this morning that was talking about William Wegman, the guy who took photos of Weimaraners!!!! I was really intrigued by him! I think his art is different in that he used dogs as the main subject! How cool (and difficult)!  He sometimes portrayed the dogs to be human-like.  They were so statuesque.  

Here is a link to a video he did with one of his dogs in the 70's.

This is another link to his page where you can find pictures of his work with dogs, as well as his paintings, and such.

I don't really think that his work started a trend in photography, but it maybe started a trend in people wanting to buy Weimaraners as pets!
