A unique view into the eye of one of today's pre-eminent
photographers. A glimpse into a visual journal, covering the globe
from 2004-2014. Perhaps a future artefact which gives a glimpse of
who we are at this particular moment in time. A selection of ten
years of photographs from today's rising photographer, Paul
Solberg, from Sicily to Jordan, Cairo to Vietnam, back to the wild
and the un-wild American west. From the skin of a flower petal to
the skin of youth. From the intimate portrait of Ai Weiwei to
haunting faces of America's Armed Forces. Each photograph takes the
viewer on an escape into another world.
A unique look at the dogs, trainers, and dog recipients whose lives
have been changed by a program where 8 week old puppies are
companioned with prison inmates and trained there by them for 18
months, until they are released as service or aid dogs for
individuals and governments. Includes 150 original and compelling
photographs by renowned photographers Christopher Makos and Paul
Solberg and an introduction and narrative by Gloria Gilbert Stoga,
the organisation's creator. With moving images, this book serves as
a testament to the many lives that have been positively affected by
Puppies Behind Bars. From the moments these puppies and inmates
bond, to one trained puppy's first-class flight to his new home and
life in rural Texas, Makos and Solberg capture the moments these
extraordinary dogs and their dedicated trainers share as they each
work hard to give to those in need. With the photographer's
unprecedented access to both a correctional facility for men as
well as a correctional facility for women taking part in the
program, Puppies Behind Bars is much more than an appealing look at
these courageous canines, it is the wide-ranging story of these
dogs' journeys and their extensive impact on society. Puppies
Behind Bars is also a unique look at the dogs, inmate trainers, and
dog recipients whose lives have been changed by this groundbreaking
program. The experience is a win-win-win for all involved - the
dogs are loved, nurtured, trained and given structure 24/7; the
convicted felon has the opportunity to contribute to society and in
return receives and gives love, which may be a life-changing
experience for him or her; and ultimately, the recipient and
community benefit when the trained dog lands in his new home as a
life-long companion.
