They are linked to memory and personal history, but, paradoxically, as…

A big kiss to you Elliott! With…
We celebrate the photographer's inimitable wit through his wry observations on life, relationships and, of course, dogs. A dog is a man’s best friend “Dogs have more to do than children. For one thing, they are forced to lead a life that is really schizoid. Every minute, they have to live on two planes at once, juggling the dog world against the human world.

Between the sexes “We all find new dimensions of love between the sexes.
