It’s ok if your pet portrait is a bit non-traditional. Dan Bracaglia

There’s nothing quite like bonding with a member of another species. Inviting creatures, large or small, into your home to and care for is one of the great joys of life. And though it may not be easy, it’s surely worth the effort. After all, (most) pals give us unequivocal love, comfort us without judgment, and make us when we’re blue. So, for this challenge, we want to your pet portraits.

This week’s theme

This week’s theme is all about non-human friends, everything from ants to alligators, to aardvarks. If they’re your animal homie, that’s good enough for us! All forms of photography are welcome too. Want to make a cyanotype of your ’s paw? right ahead! Or a large format print of your esteemed horse Jimacko? Right on. How about a collage of your lobster Florence, snapped with a Boy Camera? Uh, sure! We can’t wait to see what you’ve got.
