Porcupine

I encountered a cooperative porcupine that faced me head on allowing for this shot. Many times they feel threatened and will only show you their rear end with quills. Their front side, as seen here, also has quills but they are hidden beneath the long guard hairs.

About Artist

Wes Uncapher

In a world full of tremendous talent, I strive to be included in the ranks of those works whom I respect and admire most. I am comfortable working in multiple genres from weddings to custom portraits and from industrial to serene nature scenes. I try to find greatness in all of it. When people ask me “what is your best photo?” My reply is the next one I take. While that is perhaps some form of delusion, I do recognize this as my personal lifelong goal… to beat myself everyday. Sometimes I accomplish it and sometimes not so much… but tomorrow is a new day with new possibility.
