Daria, 2018

Daria was a flight risk. She’d already traveled across multiple state lines to get to us, yet we didn’t see it coming.
My studio lies within a patch of concrete in a very-active 43,000 square-foot open-plan warehouse, divided into territories like the strategy board game Risk. I currently have an alliance with a company that is renovating homes and they have amassed nearly one thousand, 38-gallon water heaters on our sovereign border to the South.
To the north, a formidable artillery of salvaged street bricks and stacks and piles of recycled wood. We are at peace.

Daria’s entrance, planned for weeks in advance, was greeted with the fanfare reserved for Chow Chows of her stature, like that of a head of state or other visiting dignitary. All seemed to be going perfectly as she reviewed the studio and personnel on hand when she somehow discovered a very lost squirrel behind the water heaters.
Daria launched an immediate and thorough investigation for the fugitive squirrel that by now had successfully navigated a labyrinth of reclaimed flooring and hand-hewn beams to the open front door and was eight miles away.
In her mind, Daria never let go of that squirrel and from this point on, my loyal assistant and trusting wife Callie and I were viewed as complicit in the escape and not to be fully trusted regardless of how many individually-wrapped slices of low-fat American cheese she might have folded up in her pocket.

No offense to smart dogs but they will exploit your insecurities, make you feel good about your photography and then bolt when you look at the back of the camera.
Just saying.

Leashes were used at times, photographs were made occasionally and the squirrel has not been seen since.
