Around the middle of last year, I moved into a new apartment. There was a particular wall where I needed some portrait oriented art and I just didn’t really have any. So what does a photographer do? Make their own! I gave myself a rule that day: I was not allowed to shoot in landscape orientation.
The otters in the Toyota Elephant Village are adorable and playful little dudes. They’re always interacting with each other, swimming, wrestling, cuddling. But it just so happened on this one day that this one otter really wanted to climb up on a log, get right up next to the window, and pose for me.
You can get this kind of shot with patience; you can get most shots with patience. But sometimes, luck works out instead.
