assignment pitch

For my one day shoot/five points of view photo assignment I am going to spend some time with a critter control or pest services guy. I have not made any contacts yet but I am looking at the company Critter Control. I also like their orange trucks you see all over town. I think this could be some cool possibility to get some querky photos. I also feel like it will be fun just to see how he deals with each situation.

When I was out taking photos of Ralph Mennemeyer's State Champion Bitternut Hickory I spotted this guy nearby. He climbed up a tree only 5 feet high and was just looking at me. It was a pretty cool moment because normally you see opossums at night and they look ugly but this guy has a nice look to him.

I know this one is a little bias because my father is featured in it but I feel like the photog did a great job of showing truthfully, for once, what tree service companies actually do and how we help out trees.

The giant bur oak located near McBaine, Mo stands stately in the night.  The tree is estimated to be over 350 years old and is possibly the largest bur oak in the nation.
