accessed July 31, 2018

Pentti Sammallahti, Finnish Photographer

第一張"Top Dog"是今年68歲的芬蘭攝影名師的作品。

於2003年曾被20世紀偉大的攝影師布列松選為一百張"最感人、最有衝擊力、最令人快樂"照片中的首選。

In 2003 Henri Cartier-Bresson chose a photo (first on the left) by Mr. Pentti Sammallahti, a 53-year old photographer then --one of 100 images that the French master found most "stimulating, joyful and moving"-- for his foundation's inaugural exhibition in Paris. A big dog sits high up on a Russian snowmobile, it's ears pricked, king of all it surveys.
