"When I first began to photograph my dog Man Ray in the early seventies, I was careful to steer clear of anything anthropomorphic or cute. I have an aversion to dogs dressed up to look like people. I dressed Man Ray up to look like an elephant, a frog, other kinds of dogs . . . That was okay. But working with my second dog, Fay Ray, and the vertically oriented 20x24 Polaroid camera led me to abandon that manifesto. Still, I would never photograph my dog in a hat or sunglasses. Okay, once or twice . . ."
