Photographer Elke Vogelsang's thirty, joy-filled, dog portraits that will bring a smile to your face.
Truly the best of the web. I want this one on a t-shirt.

On second thought, let's not go to the doggy lot. It's a silly place.

These are truly wonderful, thank you for posting! I especially love how vividly alive these portraits are. (Her people portraits are good too but not as vivid to me.)

The brown eyes, on the field of black. Sublime.

These are great. My favourite is this guy, failed model for the dogs playing poker.

Yup on the joy-filled, yup on the smile. Thanks for posting; it's nice to get a faceful of dog every so often.

Somehow these manage to capture both the soulful seriousness and complete absurdity that is your average dog.

I've never understood why science fiction keep introducing us to the tragedy of robots who want, and fail, to be human. We already have dogs wanting and failing at this, and it's a comedy.

Aaaah this is 100% what I needed today. (Well this and a glass of wine, but that has to wait until I get home). Thanks for posting!

Tomorrow is moving day and I am particularly arthritic today, so I am not having a good time; for every box I pack I'm going to allow myself to sit down and rest for a moment, and look at one of these pictures. Yessssss. Puppies are medicine.

This one is totally the real-life analogue of Simple Dog.

I was having the sort of day where this was the most welcome thing. It did indeed make me smile. Can't wait to get home to my little (ok, 70 pound) loving lump of absurdism.
