Aggressive Cranes

Taken at the National Zoo in Washington DC, October 2010.

... because the passive-aggressive cranes in the adjacent enclosure just weren't as interesting.

I thought this sign was funny, I'm not really sure why. I tried to capture the bird and the sign in a sinister, kind of film noir way.

Lucy MadCat

One of my favorite subjects, Lucy MadCat, resident cat at MadCat Pet Supplies on Mineral Point Road.

I've been closing the store on weekends, and Lucy always wants to follow me out the back to munch grass for a few minutes. With the great sunset lighting and the crazed look in her eyes, I'm usually more than happy to oblige, as long as she doesn't mind modeling while we spend quality time together.
