Bones

Keith Carter's book, Bones, is both beautiful and inspiring. The images of dogs are simple but ethereal. This is a book I revisit frequently. I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates photography and/or has great affection for man's best friend.

This book has been on my coffee table for several years now. Every once in a while I pick it up and look through it again, and I am intrigued every time. This isn't your average cutesy dog book, but one in which each dog has a unique personality and perspective. The photos range in mood from sad to jubilant. Another thing that I appreciate is that the dogs aren't all purebreds, but are usually your average mutts. I love this book!

Like the first two reviewers, I have a great enthusiasm for this book. The great thing about this book is the masterful blend of superb black and white photographs with a subject that millions appreciate: dogs!Mr. Carter has done an excellent job of providing insight into the dogs he photographs. The images are almost portraits, not just snapshots of animals wandering the neighborhood.If you can find a copy of this book, I suggest buying it - I doubt that you'll be disappointed!

This is not just about dogs. This is a book about us and our own relationships with ourselves and each other. Sometimes, you need to look elsewhere to find yourself. These photos contain the awkward grace, honest beauty and higher angels of our nature. You look at a dog see a messenger from a secret, internal world. Keith has really hit the ball out of the park with this book. Go fetch (Oh ha, ha, ha!)! Just put the book in your shopping cart and don't look back. If you don't like it once it arrives, I'll buy you a coke for the pain.

Some of the most dificult pictures to take are of dogs. So if you are a dog lover and, just perhaps, an amateur photographer then buy this book and just pretend they were made by you
