This image is from a joint project between photographer Teddy Anderson and myself, intended to exemplify humanity’s modern disconnection from Nature. The hunter is wearing modern clothes and exists in a modern setting, yet is using primitive weapons and techniques to ‘survive’ in a world which has been all but destroyed by Man’s inability to live in harmony with the planet. The wolf in the image is called Teva. She’s my personal headdress. She and her sister were both removed from a pack in Southeast Alaska by a friend of mine who works with the State Fish and Wildlife Department in population control.Once Teva was tanned so that she could not rejoin the Earth, I purchased her to make her into the headdress above. Due to some damage to the leather and a missing rear foot, her hide was not deemed suitable for traditional taxidermy and would be otherwise bound for the fur market to be made into clothing instead. She is the first wolf I ever mounted, and I’m very pleased with the way she turned out considering. From start to finish, it seemed that Teva’s creation from tanned pelt to finished headdress came together like a dream. Photography by Teddy Anderson. Post-processing and taxidermy by me.

There are so many things wrong with ^ this post/comment, I don’t even know.
Live in harmony with the planet? Are you shitting me right now??
So wait, you used traditional tanning techniques to achieve the headdress of another living animal to put onto yourself? And you used traditional techniques to take photographs of it? Oh wait, there is no such thing?
No there isn’t, because the march of humanity gives you these things. They give you the opportunity to achieve great things like this. You can’t, in one sentence, damn the march of technology, and then use it to get your point across. You can’t have it both ways. That is what’s know as hypocritical.
And another thing, since when was taking an animal body, drying it out, tanning it, skinning it, and making it okay to be worn, LIVING IN HARMONY WITH THE PLANET??? Just because you’re masquerading as some sort of uber cool shaman doesn’t mean you’re, A) deep, or B) in tune with the rest of nature. If you WERE in touch with nature, you would have let the animal die and let it return to the earth. But instead you keep it here, with you, for your own purposes.
Now don’t get me wrong. I love wearing dead things. I wear leather stuff all the time and am not against wearing real fur. But what I am against is double fucking standards. You can’t say that you’re looking out for the way the earth works, yadda yadda, and then use all that technology and progression has wrought to show that you’re in tune with nature.
Get the fuck outta here.

Congrats! Aside from proving your complete inability to grasp a simple artistic concept, you’ve also succeeded in proving yourself wrong on so many contradictory levels that I hardly know why I’m even bothering to respond to this post! But I am anyway, because I’m bored, and this is just too easy. Let’s get started:
Taking an animal’s body, skinning it, drying it out, tanning it, and “making it okay to be worn” is something that all human ancestors have done for millions of years - long before anyone invented “all that technology and progression” you yourself used to reply to the above post.
Our ancestors understood, unlike you, that killing something and letting it “return to the earth” was a waste. No one in their right mind goes hunting just to kill the animal and leave it to rot where it falls. That’s called wanton waste, and aside from being completely idiotic, it’s also illegal in most states today.
And speaking of knowing something is hypocritical - if you “love wearing dead things” and “wear leather stuff all the time and are not against real fur” yet get up in arms about this, you really are standing behind your opinion like a champ, aren’t you? Where do you suppose all that leather and fur comes from? Certainly not from animals that were killed and left to rot in the ground, deary - trust me on that.
And on a side-note: Living in harmony with nature is NOT about destroying technology. Technology can help us live more sustainably with nature, as in the case of solar and wave power. Living in harmony with nature IS living closer to the earth, and one great way to do that is to grow and hunt for your own food in order to decrease demand for the development of further crops and pastures in areas where forest and untamed prairie used to exist. There’s nothing “natural” about eating pre-package hormone-filled meat from a grocery store, or picking out genetically-modified carrots from a catalog.
You can’t say you’re looking out for the way earth works, yadda yadda yadda, and then say that upholding my ancient ancestors’ skills in hide tanning and animal butchering is the root of the problem.

Bitch got owned. big time. Never mess with a taxidermist with an A plus knowledge of skinning and tanning your skin and make it into a pelt as well.
