Taxidermists gone wild

Last week I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph a private
collection of animals. Not typically what I am used to. Mine are are
usually alive. These where stuffed. Nonetheless it was pretty
interesting to be able to photograph these beautiful creatures in such
a way. Don't let the small size of the images fool you. That is a
massive Hippo and yes that is a 8 foot tall Ostrich. Many of these
creatures are award winners in their size and taxidermy expertise. I
take very little credit for my abilities in this. Most of the art was
first God for creating such beautiful creatures, then the other artist
is the artist who stuffed and mounted these animals. I just did my
best to try to give these guys a little bit of life back.
