I Shoot Squirrels With Tiny Musical Instruments Through My Kitchen Window
Some years ago, squirrels started to come in my garden. I decided to build an outside studio from my balcony and started to shoot photos from my kitchen window. Some days sometimes 6 squirrels visit me.
This half year I worked on a children book, “Squirrel Teaching You The Alphabet”, and was confronted with some letters like an object starting with an “X”. That became a squirrel photo with a xylophone. From there I started doing a series of squirrel photos with music instruments. It took months to get some music instruments with the right size. I try to bring some magic, wonder and happiness with my work, these are real photos. Sometimes I take away a wire or some food, and sometimes I stack 2 photos from the same scene.
Meanwhile, I have been published in about 25 newspapers. Articles about my work have appeared on the internet in about 100 countries. 3 books are published, also postcards and a calendar. My work has been published in magazines, such as National Geographic, Digitalfoto, etc. and won many awards and prices. On this moment I am a finalist in Smithsonian.com where from 46000 1 of my squirrel photos is selected. Some of my works are published in other books. Still after shooting photos almost full time I still cannot make a complete living of it.

In the words of Emily Latella: Why are you shooting them? Who are they hurting? The world needs more squirrels with violins! ;) Thanks for sharing your witty creations.

At least some of these are shopped. The light and contrast on the sax are not right and you can see the same issue with a number of other instruments as well as joins between the instruments and squirrels in some parts.

At first I read "I like to shoot squirrels" and was enraged, then I read "with tiny musical instruments" and was happy again. So many feelings in a split second. Also, I have that guitar and case, but its a necklace, I bought off etsy.
