Andrew Tsai - Western

Volume 51: Issue 2 2nd Place Overall Winner & Photography Winner

From the artist:

"The goal was to throw the rock near the toad, make it jump, and shoot a photo while it was  in mid-air. The rock bounced off the ground (carrying a yellow pebble with it on the left) and rolled over the toad. He didn't move."

Moment of Zen 

From the artist:

"Beef cattle are pretty wary of humans. I had to stand still by the water for a good ten minutes before they approached for a drink." 

Water Cooler Gossip

From the artist:

"I wanted to make a smartphone wallpaper and very luckily it rained that night (this is in California). I collected some rain on my umbrella and dragged the droplets to make a paw print, which took a while. Didn't get any studying done that night. Again."
