A Gorilla Chillin’ at the Seattle Zoo

Why I Like It: For some reason this Gorilla reminded me on the Fonz — so cool, so relaxed. For composition, I like the lines drawing toward the Gorilla’s face.

Joel getting his Frisbee on.

Why I Like It: Joel is a natural athlete, so for his portrait he wanted a shot of him in the action. With the help of another friend playing catch, it was up to me to follow along and take some pictures. I would be lying to say if I didn’t play a little myself.

London, our beagle puppy, springing a trap on some unknowing ducks

Why I like it: I think this picture tells a great story. At first glance, a dog is scaring some ducks, but dive deeper and you discover a story more sinister. Notice the bread crumbs near the lower center of the frame — perhaps to lure the ducks in? Notice London’s paws, only the top two are on the ground… And finally, the outstretched human hand in the upper right side; definitive proof that he was a mere accomplice to a human crime.
