NEW YORK - BLAME IT ON THE DOG

That cute expression dogs get on their faces when they know you're about to scream, "No! That's bad! Bad dog!" is one of photographer Peter Sutherland's favorites. Most of the images in "Blame it on the Dog," his latest collection of photos up now at ATM Gallery, were taken while he was traveling, having the feeling of forgetting everyday life. Sometimes that's a really freeing thing, like when you stumble upon a buried snow cave, or you and your friends hop on a Maypole/swingset contraption in Virgin Suicides daylight, but it can also be really disconnected and disturbing. The title, he says, has to do with looking to hold someone accountable for this idea of escape. He says wasn't intending to get all political about it, but seriously, with the world pirouetting toward the apocalypse maybe it's about time someone took some responsibility.
