Alec Soth<\/strong> went to Bogot\u00e1, Colombia in 2002-3 with his wife to adopt a young girl, Carmen, whose birth mother gave her a scrapbook in which she had written \u0093When I think about you I hope that your life is full of beautiful things<\/em>.\u0092\u0092 It led Soth to try to make a book of beautiful images for his daughter of the city of her birth, ‘Dog Days Bogot\u00e1 by Alec Soth<\/em>‘, and in the Boston Globe<\/a> you can read more about it in a short piece by Mark Feeney.
