New Neighbor

While I was mowing on Tuesday night, I discovered that I have a new neighbor. He has taken up residency in my woodpile. He is adorable! Have a peek:


Backyard Toad

I hope he never leaves!

Happy day drinking holiday to people who appropriate another’s culture as an excuse to day drink!

Now I Know I’m Being Used

I don’t normally explain too much with anything, but I feel I should at least answer a question that will be going through your mind while looking at these pictures.

Yes, I think water fowl are ANGRY. All the time.

Probably with good reason. We are always trying to kill them for no real good reason. But they need to get over themselves, we are always trying to kill each other for no good reason, you think killing a duck even registers.

Any ways, here are the ANGRY photos that didn’t make the cut for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:

If only these images believed in themselves, they might be able to accomplish anything.

Also, shout out to Kio Dettman who assisted with these photos.

I have many influences on my photography. It ranges from other artists to movies to television shows to friends to family. However, one of the most obscure influences on my photography is a book I was given as a child called simply TRAINS. I still have that book. It is a little worse for the wear and Karma chewed up the binding 15 years ago or so. I still crack it out and look through it now and again.

That is a little peek into my methodology.
