Book Review: The Dogist

The Dogist by Elias Weiss Friedman

Published by Artisan Books

 

There are few people in the world who don't smile when they see pictures of dogs, and I don't trust the few people in the world who don't smile at pictures of dogs. Since I know none of you are among that group, I knew that it would be a real treat this Saturday morning to share with you a cute little coffee table book that is primarily that: brilliant photos of adorable dogs!

 

First, the Dogist is the brainchild of photographer and Philadelphia native, Elias Weiss Friedman. Now living in New York City, Friedman has makes his living combining two of his favorite things: dogs and photography. Author of a wildly popular blog, Friedman took to the streets of New York City, a place filled with people to catch their 4-legged friends in action!

 

The secret for capturing these amazing images? A squeaky tennis ball, and a pocket full of chicken jerky. Enjoy!
