The Rat
Sometimes it’s not what you photograph but how you photograph it that matters. I like to think of this, not as a picture of a rat, but as a picture of perseverance and determination. If an image can build empathy for a rat or some other subject normally reviled, I think that’s worthwhile.

Apologue
Apologue (noun) A short moral story usually featuring animal characters.
“An intellectual says a simple thing in a complicated way. An artist says a complicated thing in a simple way.” ~Charles Bukowski
People have always used the personification of animals as a method of communicating abstract ideas. For millennia animals have adorned the walls of caves and homes, appeared to us in constellations, folk tales, religious allegories, literature and in advertising.
Apologue introduces a cast of characters that extend an ancient system of communication to examine modern preoccupations such as elitism, tribalism, melioration and decay, love, gluttony and deliverance.
