Guinea Pigs
An excerpt from Wikipedia on Guinea Pigs:
Biological experimentation on guinea pigs has been carried out since the 17th century. The animals were frequently used as a model organism in the 19th and 20th centuries, giving way to the metaphor “guinea pig” for a test subject, but have since been largely replaced by other rodents such as mice and rats. They are still used in research, primarily as models for human medical conditions such as juvenile diabetes, tuberculosis, scurvy, and pregnancy complications.
I needed some “Guinea Pigs” to see if I could still remember my way around a dark room when I decided to go back to shooting large format film again. I helped breed a couple of ready-made volunteers a few years ago – Aja and Connor.

According to Jessica, this some kind of weird elephant.
Octopus, for Jessica.

In a strange turn, the rainbow came before the storm.
