DOG TOWN THE CANINES OF VENICE BEACH

Dog Town is a street photography project about dogs in Venice Beach, California. The book is named after "Dogtown," a neighborhood in West Los Angeles which included the slums of Venice and Ocean Park in Santa Monica, in the 1960s and 1970s. Dogtown surfers and skateboarders were known for be aggressive and antisocial students from poor families. Today, real dogs of all breeds and social statuses invade Venice Beach. The dogs photographed in this book often kiss the rich Dogtown skateboard culture. American photographer Dotan Saguy and his Leica cameras delight us with many light moments, eccentric and moving, captured with great love and compassion for Dogs and their environment from Dogtown. This book is a modern homage to Elliott Erwitt is a must for dog lovers.
