Flirting With Death



The walrus is immediately recognized by its prominent whiskers and great bulk. Adult Pacific males can weigh up to 4,500 pounds (2,000 kg) and, among pinnipeds, are exceeded in size only by the two species of elephant seals.

Definitely a rare species, and an extremely difficult photo to take considering the size and girth of this beast.

Stop Light 'Stache

It is a beautiful Thursday morning and my daily commute to the office has been fairly uneventful, asides from a few tears shed over some emo-cutter music I have been enjoying on my iPod. The last set of traffic lights turn red, and I stop to cherish my last few minutes alone for the day. A car approaches from the rear, so I habitually check my mirror - HARK! It's a Stage 2 Detective Duster. Nicely trimmed, great shape and weight. The photo was a difficult one to obtain, as I had to hold my phone over my shoulder and take a backwards shot.

His Lip Floweth Over

Ah, the thrill of the hunt. Allow me to set the scene. It's lunch, we're headed East on 16th Ave. when we're forced to stop at the light. Bored, in the backseat, I look to my right and spot one of the densest dusters this side of the Arab world. Even though the guy was essentially staring right at me, I would not forgive myself if I could not capture the mellifluous beast on his upper lip...
