Sadly, this was the roosters' last photograph... it was their time to be made into dinner. WARNING: Do not look at the next couple images if you are a vegetarian.

Oh, that's just Steve watering his garden.
I had to do a nude portrait for my location class. I knew I wanted to do something bizarre, so I figured why not photograph my nudist neighbor watering the garden with his chickens scrounging around? As I approached his backyard the morning of the shoot, I was quite surprised with the effort to block off as much of the neighbors vision as possible. There was a full-size tent set up, equipped with tarps blocking all 3 sides, except the side I was to shoot from. We also had a blanket covering an opening in the bushes at camera right. It was pretty chaotic trying to work with the chickens. Of course, they weren't very cooperative. As a result, I had to mask in 5 or 6 photographs in Photoshop in order to get everything how I wanted in the frame. Thanks to Steve, Jonathan, and Kristina for all their effort. A special thanks to Jonathan and Kristina for chasing the chickens around the whole time... and of course, Steve, for being in the photograph.
