We've seen hippies prancing around naked, and we've seen the guys from Jackass stripping infront of unassuming store clerks, but have we ever seen a cop strip down to his skivies and wander aimlessly into the woods? I don't think we have.
When I think of a police officer I think: strict, uniform, put-together, and possibly powerful in influencing the lives of others. The thought of a cop relinquishing his polished appearance, and consequently his status, for a randy frolic in the woods gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. In this dimly possible scenario, a police officer could show his free spirit while embracing the primal instincts that any mammal might have on a beautiful day. Unfortunately, without his tools (helmet, badge, weapons, etc...), there is little hope that this officer will survive in the great outdoors. By simply derobing and venturing away from civilization, this man's title as a "law enforcer" is now meaningless. To any observer, he is just some crazy dude running naked through the woods. To a tiger, he is simply a yummy lump of flesh.
I made this series to underscore the fact that men and women, despite thier status, weapons, or titles, are just lumps of living flesh like any animal in the world. I think we forget this sometimes.
Who knows? Maybe the cop and the tiger become best friends....
