Project 52: Silly
Beautiful Beasties is an international assocation for proffesional pet photographers. Within this network there is a creative project called 'Project 52' and for 52 weeks a theme is selected and each photographer photographs their interpretation for the theme. This weeks theme is 'Something Silly'.
Reading a pets emotions is an important part of communicating and interacting with animals.
This topic has inspired me to one day photograph more of the different emotions of the animals we live with.
