Dog Days Bogota by Alec Soth September 9 - November 28, 2009 Stephen D. Paine Gallery at MassArt

In 2002 Alec Soth traveled with his wife to Bogotá, Colombia to adopt a baby girl, Carmen. Carmen's birthmother gave her a scrapbook book with this note; "When I think about you I hope that your life is full of beautiful things." Taking this message to heart Soth set out to capture the city during the two months it took the courts to process the paperwork.
