Honoured to have received some wonderful results from this year’s @greatwalksmag Wilderness Photographer of the Year competition, including a win for ‘Creatures in the Shadows’ (photo 1)
I’m doing the dishes
it’s a warm spring day
I watch out the window as my neighbours wiener dog wanders out into the garden in its little blue bandana
I stop, mesmerised.
It’s sniffing flowers — carnations, I think — for quite some time until it becomes excited by a bird overhead and bounces around to chase it’s shadow
the dog returns to the sunlit spot by the flowers and flops over, belly up, to bask in the warm light
“I want to be that dog” I say to myself. “I want to share with the world the peaceful joy that dog must be feeling right now.”
I try to take a picture; my zoom is not enough. I get weird and grab my pigeon-watching binoculars to get a better zoom, line my phone camera up with the lens. And I take one single, illicit, sleepy dog picture.
I hope the ends justified the means.
I bet that dog is having a really nice day.
This guy loves this job!

As someone who used to make these suits, let me actually break it down one further. The face has to be controlled by slipping your hand out of one of the sleeves and up through the neck. Not only does this person have great control of the facial expressions, but they’re able to swap between control hands almost seamlessly (you’ll notice in the first part they’re using the left hand for facial expressions, in the group photo, they’re using the right). They have awesome control, this is seriously such a well-constructed suit and skilled person controlling it.
Are you sure it’s not just a bear
dont know if i'll ever have a normal job, or a normal life, or be able to take care of myself or be okay
they call me the problem ignorer for reasons that i know but dont feel like addressing right now
I like to turn on a bonfire on the beach video at bedtime and fall asleep watching it and listening to the sound of waves. It's very soothing.
