Photo Projects CAN be unusual and meaningful....

Doomed shelter dogs..."Taiwanese photographer Tou Chih-kang hangs his portraits of the final moments in the lives of shelter dogs for a public exhibition in Taoyuan, northern Taiwan. Tou has been visiting dog shelters for two years now, making human-like portraits that give a sense of dignity and esteem to some 400 canines, in hopes of educating the public on the proper care of pets. This year Taiwanese authorities will kill an estimated 80,000 stray dogs at 38 pounds scattered throughout the island." - ArtDaily.org

ArtDaily.org always seems to have some fascinating projects for photography as well as what is happening in the art world. It is a great site for a daily review.
