Product Description

The dapper Quincy tells all in this lighthearted introduc­tion to the art of photographing dogs. He’s generous with helpful hints, like “You can stop to smell the roses, but dogs don’t hold their poses,” and mindful of the smallest details, such as allowing the subject to sniff the camera. To top it off, Quincy shares his favorite snaps from the field in a quirky slide presentation. 
 
In his inimitable style, J.otto Seibold delivers a book over­flowing with heart, humor, and four-footed friends. Part silly picture book, part off-the-cuff instruction manual, Quincy, the Hobby Photographer is an ideal gift for dog lovers and for photo enthusiasts of all ages.

PRAISE FOR J.OTTO SEIBOLD
 
"Seibold's skills as an artist are on a par with the poetic powers of a Pulitzer Prize winner like [Richard] Wilbur [in The Pig in the Spigot] . . . an auspicious pairing of artist and writer that both parent and child can enjoy many times over."--The New York Times Book Review

"Eye-catching . . . Seibold's obsessive inclusion of excessive graphic minutiae throughout his tableaus is what makes his Alice [in (Pop-up) Wonderland] totally engrossing and worth reading more than once."--Steven Heller, The New York Times

You know what?
This book rules.
I've been waiting for Quincy for some time now.
We read it to our unborn child 1x a week now.
There's nothing like Quincy on the shelf. It's 100% genius.
If you already own it, then you're Einstein.
