Presents one hundred photographs of canines of all sizes which celebrate the differences and similarities between large and tiny dogs, in a volume complemented by quotes on size and humorous charts.
I am privileged to call Barbara a personal friend, and to have been influenced in my life by both her photography, and her work with greyhounds. I want to provide that information up-front, so that potential readers will realize that I am a wee bit biased :)
Barbara has been a talented photographer for decades, primarily training her lens on architectural subject matter. She has always had a hobby or interest that she would approach with great passion. Greyhound rescue, and her first book, Greyhounds, was the point at which her talent intersected with her personal passion, and she created a stunning tribute to the breed (one of which our family owns as a result of our connection with Barbara).
Her second book, Small Dog, Big Dog is delightful in numerous ways. The pairings of small and large dogs, most of whom are actual "family" members, are really precious. The expressions that Barbara is able to catch are priceless at times, from a wink, to a toothy smile, they will make many dog lovers go "awww...". Photographing dogs is a challenging task, and it must have taken many many hours of photo shoots, and many many delicious treats to provide Barbara with the opportunities to capture the shots that she did.
If you are a dog lover, or a photography lover who enjoys dogs, I would recommend this book for your coffee table, or general collection.
