William Wegman





William Wegman was born on December 2nd, 1943, in Holyoke Massachusetts. He is an American artist/photographer who takes pictures of dogs, specifically his Weimaraners. First he was going to pursue a career as a painter. While teaching at California State University, he got his first and most famous of the dogs he photographed, a Weimaraner he named Man Ray. 

The pictures above are some of his photographs. I chose these because they're all pretty silly. I like the dogs facial expression on the first photo with the dog on the balls. For the second picture I also like the dog's facial expression. The third picture is kind of creepy, but funny at the same time. Its just an odd picture and the dog's wig is so weird. I chose the fourth picture because I was feeling like that dog this morning. I had my hood on and I was just done with everything and just annoyed about everything and I feel like that is what the dog is trying to represent??. The last picture I chose because I liked the boots and how the dog is wearing them backwards.
