“Shore was photographed with the Polaroid 20 x 24 camera using two elements: set paper and Weimaraners. There are two shades of blue set paper and two Weimaraners—Chip, whose ear I recognize, and his son Bobbin. At the time, I was interested in making illusions with the simplest means possible. The torn set paper seemed to suggest an ocean shore; the curve of the paper, a breaking wave. The dogs lay down facing into the paper, and the camera transformed them into a landscape. I like to think that the dogs are enjoying the view, basking in the warmth of the studio lights.”
