"Oh boy, who would have thought a Sloth would be so challenging? Perry, which is short for Perezoso (lazy in Spanish), was a character. Most of my subjects can either stand on their legs or sit upright. Sloths, on the other hand, do neither. They lay or they hang, that’s it. It was impossible to create a shot of Perry laying because he just melted into the floor. However, once I saw him hang, the light bulb went off, THAT was the shot. Despite his namesake, he moved constantly, literally spinning, which made it super challenging for me to capture just the right moment. After working patiently with him I laughed at the irony of my hyper active sloth and finally captured a shot I was happy with.
*As a point of interest Perry has traveled the world with his owner educating kids about sloths. He also met Ryan Gosling, on a TV appearance during the promotion of my book, The Animal Kingdom."
