New Releases by Lara Jo Regan

In this breathtaking series photographer Lara Jo Regan combines two universally popular subjects - dogs and beaches - breaking new ground in dog, beach, travel and animal photography. Readers are treated to a vibrant, pleasure-packed journey spanning all seasons, a timeless treasure surely to be widely savored, gifted and shared. A passionate, world-renowned chronicler of canine life (Dogs in Cars, Mr. Winkle series, Dog Plays), the author spent three years shooting Dogs on the Beach, traveling to some of the most scenic seascapes in America to capture the primal joy of dogs romping and rolling in the sand, splashing in surf, lounging in the sun and even catching a few waves. One literally re-discovers and experiences the sensuous joys, child-like pleasures and expansive beauty of the beach through these remarkable intimate images of blissed-out dogs in paradise.

The pure joy of a dog with his nose to the horizon, in a moving car--captured on the page. First we had dogs underwater, then dogs shaking off that water—so why not dogs soaking up the exhilarating pleasure of a car ride? Photographer Lara Jo Regan began her pet project as a calendar, but the response was overwhelming and absolute: Her technical photographs of cruising canines, with tongues hanging and ears flapping, became a global Internet sensation. The energy in the photographs is impressive and visceral. In order to get these shots, Regan constructed a special light affixed over the roof of the car, a harness that allowed her to lean out of the window, and various other contraptions to make the images come to life. The book is laugh out loud funny and you'll want to share it with everyone you know. It’s full-speed happiness.

The underdogs of history soar with Mr. Winkle!

What is Mr. Winkle? A television celebrity, playing himself on Sex and the City, the hero of a series of books, an Internet celebrity--36 million hits on www.mrwinkle.com to date! Model for a plush doll from Monogram, with a posable tongue, and star, of course, of the fabulous WHAT IS MR. WINKLE? CALENDAR, now in its fourth year. Is Mr. Winkle a cloud particle? A dust bunny? A little emperor? He is all that and more. This tiny dog--yes, he's a real dog--has been inspiring award-winning photographer Lara Jo Regan ever since she found him abandoned on the side of a railroad track. Now for 2004, it's a whole new round of irresistible Winkle portraits. Think Anne Geddes meets William Wegman. Think cuddly and collectible. Think hot.
