Nov 11th, 2017: Rats
Good authors and reporters can sway public perception and opinion.
So can poets, conmen, preachers and skilled orators.
Personally I think king of the hill is the photographer who can compose that picture that stops you dead
in your tracks, makes you suddenly see clearly a situation that had you muddled or even hadn't considered.
Diane Ozdamar is not one of those photographers.

As far as I can remember I have always loved rats and any rodent people would call "pest". When I first got pet rats, I was thrilled to discover they were so clean, smart and affectionate, very far from the nasty dirty rat myth most people believe in. Thus, I decided to rescue and foster abandoned and abused rats until I could find them a forever home. This led me to take pictures of them: finding a home to a rat is not an easy task since they suffer from a very bad reputation and I had to make their cute personalities stand out so people would consider adopting them. |
| Some of the rats you can see here were mine, others were rats I fostered, and some belonged to my friends. Most of these pictures (plus many more not shown here) have been exhibited for the last 5 years at the "Animal Expo" show in Paris, where people can meet a team of animal rights activists and volunteers to get informations about rodents and exotic pets maintenance. |
| No rat has ever been hurt during the shooting sessions, you can see here how I managed to make them pose: a lot of patience, cuddles and tasty treats. |
and their bubonic fleas which should burn to hell.
