Nicholas the Giant





Driving down the back roads of Keysville Virginia, I spotted a unicorn in a distant field. We pulled up to the house where it belonged and the giant ran the length of the fence while braying at our truck. We found his caretakers in the barn where they housed a herd of rabbits, miniature horses, and miniature cows. Nicholas, the "Mammoth Donkey", was by far the largest pet they owned and had only recently been acquired. The sweet couple told us that Nicholas had brought their farm lots of attention, so they didn't seem surprised when Dave asked if he could take Nicholas' portrait. Nicholas, not used to doing still portraiture, was perhaps a bit too active for Dave's camera, however I was able to capture a few pictures of this unique fellow.
