if pigs had wings, ugh.
(posted on Friday, February 20 by eii wyy nae.)
I watched art being made today. Big yay!
Of course, this little piggy wasn't thrilled about being the subject of said art, but he hung in there like a real trooper, squealing and growling (and I must admit, if you've never heard a small piglet growl, it's pretty wonderful and I recommend you run right out and find one of your own and just listen. *jokes*) and he was eventually done with having his close-up taken, Mr. DeMille, thank you, and got to nestle back against his captor.
Who caught him with her bare hands out in the woods a few days ago, his momma and siblings and all the other members of his herd? - tribe? - having left him to fend for himself, once they recognized there were human beings headed their direction.
This little piggy slept through all the commotion until it was too late, and then it was too late, and he was scooped up and brought home - right across the street, next door to Mary, where, whether he would admit it or not, he had it pretty good.
A bath every day, lots of food, someone to pet him, dogs who actually thought he was pretty cool (hahs!) and loved having him around. But today was release day - back into his woods he must go, momma pig hopefully having calmed down enough to have come looking for him.
But first - studio pictures! Part of Robert's ongoing animal series/wildlife series/reptile series. Real stuff. You know, film. 4x5 camera, the whole shebang. I was invited to watch, so grabbed my camera & took pictures of the portrait-making process.
I love this look he's giving Robert.
If he'd had wings, he'd've been long gone. (:
