Photography As A Fine ARF
Ever since photography was invented in 1839, proud dog parents have had pictures taken of their beloved four-legged children.
There's a great exhibit now on display at the American Museum of Photography's: Photography as a Fine ARF! The Museum is a virtual museum at http://www.photographymuseum.com/. (Click to view the exhibit.) The exhibit shows how, through photography, dogs behave like people ... and people are transformed into dogs!
The American Museum of Photography displays one of the finest collections of 19th and early 20th century photographs in the U.S., even though it has no building. Good Dog! is proud to be a co-sponsor of this exhibit.
Here are some additional dog photos. Some are from the Museum's collection, and one is from the Good Dog! collection. Not all are in the exhibit.
