For this month’s storytelling theme, I decided to take a picture of my pet parrot, Eli. Eli has been a member of our family since I was 10 years old and has been around with me through thick and thin. Over the past eight years, Eli has taught me how to take care of others and own up to my responsibilities; showing me how far Im willing to go for those I love. In honor of my best friend, I used my photography and compositing skills to capture Eli eating almonds, as happy as can be.
