Printed in black and white on dark blue paper. This book is a pictorial essay of a crudely drawn dog barking a "white" cone shaped bark. With the dark blue background, it seems clear that the action is taking place after dark. As each page turns, the constant image of the dog and his white "bark" indicates the passage of time and connote a sense of anxiety (on the dog's part) or irritation (by the viewer). At the end of the book the dog, still barking seems to have exhausted itself, and is depicted on the ground, feet in the air. The irregularly spaced three hole stab binding is at the top of the book, and has been dipped in black paint. The book was originally created as a unique hand-painted book, but was reproduced using offset printing in an unnumbered edition of 200., A gift in memory of Peter Ward Britton

Some of the photographs in this book were originally part of an exhibit, but the book contextualizes the images with topical headings that mimic the text style of a newspaper. Text is also added to the pages, which are densly packed with images. This book looks at photography as a part of the modern world's overstimulation by mass media.
