We Are All Wild Things Now

Newer Older

Maurice Sendak was and is one of my favourite authors and illustrators and I was so sad to hear that he had passed away today. Growing up, I always wanted to be an animator or illustrator like Walt Disney or Mr.Sendak and I looked to talents like his to inspire me.

Right away I knew that I was going to try and do a "wild things" type shot to honor his amazing talent and when I ran through this field earlier tonight, the sun was so nice that I ran even faster just to get home and come back to shoot :)
