I photographed them in a moment where they actually seemed to be posing! I never understand people who say they don’t like animals …

The Art of Non-Conformity Re: Qualifications
I loved this super funny and smart article re: Qualifications. You really don’t need any, as the author has proven! I have noticed that many uber-successful people don’t ask permission from anybody to create whatever they can dream up!
