Dog Days Bogotá is a collection of poetic and haunting photographs Alec Soth made during 2003 when he traveled to Colombia to adopt a baby girl. Soth photographed people, landscapes, and ephemera that he happened upon in a search for the familiar in the unknown and everyday. Because of the very personal nature of this journey, Dog Days Bogotá is both poetic and haunting, he says, "I wanted to share my honest impressions, including my fears."
