Pets Selfie with art director on my shoulder

Selfie with art director on my shoulder · **2 Likes**

My father spends a couple of months every year in Puerto Vallarta, and this year, he spent almost a week in the hospital with pneumonia. To thank his wonderful doctor for taking care of him (and my stepmother, who also got sick - but not as sick as him), he took me to visit her in order to do a photo shoot with her family of rescued animals: 5 dogs, 2 cats, 2 birds - plus the feral cat colony she cares for.

Of course, I was in heaven photographing everyone. This isn't my best quality photo, but it was a lot of fun to make this selfie with one her birds perched on my shoulder. I photographed into her mirrored china cabinet. Since I was photographing into a mirror, I decided not to use flash - hence, the high ISO.

What a fun photo!

This would make a great Pentax advert

Great job. I imagine your assistant was paid in an abundance of sunflower seeds.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Did your art director approve?

You joke... I've had real ones (or so called) about as close as that to me.

This is a truly funny photo.

With a similar one, I flipped in horizontally so that the 'Pentax' would be spelled correctly.

Was that a Bird's Eye view?
