Dog Days

41nsmo-t9ol_aa240_.jpg I just learned from Muse-​​ings that Alec Soth’s Dog Days: Bogota is being pub­lished. Not only is this my favorite of Alec’s projects, but it’s the only one I will have the oppor­tu­nity to own now that both Sleep­ing by the Mis­sis­sippi and Nia­gra have both gone out of print. I have already pre-​​ordered a copy of Dog Days on Ama­zon because I learned the heard way that it’s impor­tant to get your hands on one of these books as soon as humanly pos­si­bly. I ordered a copy of Nia­gra from Ama­zon before they stopped pub­lish­ing it, but I guess the demand for it was so high they weren’t able to ship it to me before new ones were made. I then got a mes­sage from them say­ing I was hosed, there are none left.

But not with Dog Days, oh no sir. You can take that to the bank.
