Enviro[mental] Portraits

Well yesterday there were a few portraits to take about the Supreme Court ruling on retro-active childcare payments. There was nothing really available to tie into the ruling, so they ended up being straight enviromental portraits, and I think their personalities are represented well by the pictures. Lastly we have yours truly being used as a jungle gym by one of the many kitties I photographed tonight at the Calgary Humane Society, which was fun to shoot but nerve-racking at times, they had some darn sharp claws. But overall it was a fun way to finish up a 7 assignment 12 hour day.
