More of the goose family. I took a lot of shots of these guys. Fort Collins has a real problem with them though. They were introduced to the area in the 1950s, and ever since then, the population has climbed steadily. Very few animals here prey on them. Humans don’t hunt them much because apparently they taste like goose shit or something equally foul (pun intended). Show this picture to anyone who has lived here for a while, long enough to have to go through the back entrance of a store because a pair of geese have nested in the entry way of the front and attack anyone who gets within 20 feet–they’re going to just see four more annoyances.

Still, so cute!

It’s a Stylistic Rebellion
Particularly as an aesthetic [...]

This was my first serious shoot with logistics involving a model, costuming, and a shoot location.

I highly recommend checking out one or the other and coming back here. I’ll wait. For the lazy, here’’s a choice bit [...]
