As I browsed the Editor’s Choice photos on 500px a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon this photo titled “The Inside Joke” by Adrian C. Murray. It stopped me in my tracks and I couldn’t help but smile. I thought to myself, a photo as sweet as this must have a story behind it, so I reached out to Adrian for more details… enjoy!

The Story

This image was actually taken in a near exact spot as one of my other images selected for Editors’ Choice last year. I remembered enjoying the light so I returned to it but with a different photo in mind. I had the wife set up the bear and then told my son, Greyson, to say hi to the bear. I ended up getting a couple of shots with Greyson talking to the bear that morning. He has a genuine interaction with these stuffed animals. He loves them and I have a whole slew of photos just like this one. 🙂
