Half-Asleep

My Japanese Spitz-Poodle dog who likes to sleep under beds, racks, shelves and tables because of the coolness of the floor. Here, she has just awakened from a refreshing nap beneath the kitchen’s newspaper rack and is still a bit disoriented from sleep.

This was taken with a Kodak KB-10 camera at my home in Iloilo City, Philippines in January 2004.

Gentle Closeness

The mother native deer in a Capiz Province reservation for endangered species. This picture was taken from a close angle. She is a gentle animal and not averse to humans. However, we were warned not to reach through the wire fence and try to touch her.

A female chicken, called Munga (Hiligaynon for “female chicken”). She was photographed at the rocky portion of a suburban front yard, where she spends her days luxuriating in the sun and examining the plants.

Solitary Confinement

The subject is an endangered species of wild boar, indigenous to the Philippines. It is one of the few captured and being raised by a reservation in Capiz. I was struck by its melancholy pose behind its pen of wires.
