Gathers the best of the photographer's creative and often whimsical canine portraits as taken with a 20 x 24-inch Polaroid camera, in a treasury accompanied by an essay on his experiences with the camera and with his models.

With family photos, video and film stills, and studio photos never before published, Fay captures the collaborative spirit and amazing artistic outpouring of Wegman and his extraordinary companion. Their relationship spanned ten years during which time Fay became as well known to the art world as her canine predecessor, Man Ray. Motherhood brought Fay new concerns and Wegman a wealth of new characters. In 1989 she was joined in the studio by three of her puppies. What followed was a flowering of dramatic roles for Fay and her offspring in a wide range of books and videos for children.

This book reproduces 25 photographs, taken with a rare Polaroid camera, resulting from an unusually close partnership of man and dog, Wegman's Weimaraner, Man Ray. Together, they have created a series of images that play upon the great variety of human and animal life that surrounds us.
