An Introductory Post

If you're visiting this blog, you're probably already at least somewhat acquainted with the story of Nugget, the donkey. If you're completely unfamiliar with the burro and his story, please refer to the explanatory sidebar on the left of your screen.

My first attempt at photographing Nugget (back in April) went poorly. He spotted the camera, decided its sole purpose was to harm him, and flinched away from me. My assumption that the donkey was accustomed to and okay with cameras (due to the touristy nature of the museum) proved incorrect, I turned my photographer side off and turned the horse trainer on.

Here we are in June and the little equine now loves and trusts my family. So I decided it was time to do a round of test shots of the burro. Some of the test shots proved decent enough to share, so I'm posting them on this here blog as an introductory post and a way of satisfying the curiosity of those folks following Nugget's story.
