These are prints from an ongoing collection I've been working on. I've been long fascinated with the skeletal similarities all vertebrates share.

As word got out that I was shooting this series, people -- total strangers even, began to approach me, each offering their own skulls for the benefit of my camera and lens.

I hope you enjoy these photos. I will be adding more soon, including a beaver, raven, and a harbor seal (with bullet hole. Please check back often. If you don't see these additions soon, send me an e-mail to me and gripe!
