Elliott Erwitt's Dogs - The Pets A colleague of Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt once described the Russian-American as being “half-photographer, half-dog,” owing to his almost supernatural affinity with the canine species. “It’s quite extraordinary,” the associate expanded, “He barks at them. They understand.” Erwitt, whose career has centered chiefly on advertising and documentary photography, tends to shoot in black and white, creating works tinged with irony and absurdity, yet presented in an everday context. It is this candid quirkiness, coupled with Erwitt’s obvious love and understanding of dogs, that makes his dog portraiture – a genre to which he has returned throughout his working life – so skillful, funny and endearing. Dogs have long been portrayed in art, from classical mosaics and wall paintings through the Victorian zeal for pet portraiture, right up to the present day (think Lucian Freud and his beloved whippets). Elliot Erwitt's Dogs is published by teNeues and is available now.

He is also known for his many witty photographs of dogs, often from their perspective and distinct from their owners, in such books as Son of Bitch, To the Dogs and Woof. Erwitt worked into his 90s, and was ever practical about his art.

Can Photos Save A Vanishing Culture? : The Picture Show Taylor Weidman thinks so. At the foot of the Himalayas is a region of Nepal that has been virtually untouched by modern times. "Mustang," according to photographer Weidman, "is arguably the best-preserved example of traditional Tibetan life left in the world." Hide caption A group of senior monks prepare for a ceremony during one of Lo Manthang's many festivals. Hide caption A monk leads a horse between the towns of Ghemi and Dhakmar. Weidman received a Fulbright Scholarship in 2010 to document changes faced by Tibetan groups in Nepal. "The lifestyle [in Upper Mustang] was completely different, alien and remarkable," Weidman writes in an email. The Loba people of Upper Mustang are largely Buddhist, and prayer and tradition are important aspects of everyday life. While Upper Mustang remains a preserved region of tradition (farming is still done using wooden plows), the area is experiencing new development.
