William Wegman is a very peculiar fellow to me, although I am sure I am very bizarre to others as well so what gives me the right to say weather he is normal or not. He is an artist that works well in his comfort zone, taking many black and white photos and MANY pictures of his dog. I do believe that you should make art from what you love but Jesus this man kinda took it over board. He poses the dog in odd ways and gets his picture.. all I have to say is that dog is remarkably trained. On his website there is a video that first comes up upon entry of him teaching his dog how to spell. Odd dude man... Wegman was born in Massachusetts in 1943, and lives in new york and maine now still photographing and painting pictures.  Apparently he did work for "Wegman has created film and video works for Saturday Night Live and Nickelodeon and his video segments for Sesame Street have appeared regularly since 1989" So he was a man of many hats in  the art world and still is today. His webiste is; http://www.wegmanworld.com/about.html
