When I hiked to this Harris's hawk nest back in June I noticed one of the chicks had fledged and this one was getting close, practicing by hopping from one arm of the saguaro to another, already at it when I arrived before the sun was even up, with the adults occasionally bringing in something to eat. I nicknamed it Trixie as it would eat just a few bites before returning to flight practice, then go back for a few bites, much like our youngest cat who likes to nibble at her food then play play play, repeat repeat repeat.

To get good at something, we need to practice. I was once told by my tennis coach that practice makes permanents, not perfect. We are far from perfect in the things we do as improvements can always be made. That piece of advice, 14 years ago, is something that stuck with me to this day. Which brings me to today's picture. The picture taken is what I'm guessing is a kendo practice dummy. If it's not, then well, you still got a good piece of advice.
It may not look like it, but they're all holding onto a reflector that's underneath the frame, reflecting light back onto themselves. I absolutely cannot stress enough how much of a difference those white sheets of poster material made in this shoot.
General backstory for this shoot: I watched Peter Hurley's DVD recently and wanted to try some stuff out, and got some friends together to help me experiment. We did some headshots as best I could, and some other random stuff as well. Definitely a lot I could improve on, that's for sure.
