ferrets

This photo is from a photo shoot where I used a “set.” I used a piece of material as a back drop that was mottled fall colors. Most people stay away from bright colors for back drops, but some of the most interesting photos I’ve taken used some rather unorthadox backgrounds.

Then we placed a small box on the table and draped a piece of green fake fur over it. The intention was to have the ferret stand behind the box and put their feet up on the box, but this little girl was so small, she barely cleared the top!

It seems that some ferrets, when placed on top of a small box, tend to stay put–at least for a few seconds! The look on her face is a result of my doing that loud “EEK-EEK” sound. She was quite startled, and was seriously considering running away.
