This image is of a Russian Tortoise named Mozzarella… I named him Mozzarella because when he tucks his legs in I thought he looked like a Mozzarella log! I rescued him from Northwest Tortoise Rescue.
Mozzarella inspired me to take this photo because he is very important to me. Mozzarella is important to me because he is my companion and I try to show warmth and comfort as an emotion in this photo. He helps me cope with hard feelings.
I learned that a new photo doesn’t need to be 100% in focus to be a good photo. It’s how you feel about it! I believe this image is what I imagined my final piece would be because I wanted to showcase something that has a lot of meaning to me and reminds me of something I love. I think this photograph will inspire me to photograph more wildlife and capture images that carry meaning.
