DOGS IN CARS

The pure joy of a dog with his nose to the horizon, in a moving car--captured on the page.

First we had dogs underwater, then dogs shaking off water... so why not dogs soaking up the exhilarating no-holds-barred pleasure of a car ride? Photographer Lara Jo Regan began her pet project as a calendar, but the response was overwhelming and absolute: Her photographs of the cruising canines, taken from incredible perspectives, with tongues hanging and ears flapping, became a global Internet sensation. The energy of the photographs is impressive and visceral. In order to get these shots, Regan built a special light, which jutted out over the roof of the car, a harness that allowed her to lean out of the window, and various other contraptions to make the images come to life. This book will make you laugh out loud and want to share it with everyone you know. It’s full speed happiness. Lara Jo Regan is a photographic artist and filmmaker, best known for her award-winning work for the world's leading magazines and for her groundbreaking, imaginative animal photography that has achieved world-wide popularity and acclaim through books and collected artwork. She lives in Los Angeles, California.
