Charles Darwin was born in 1809 and died in 1882, he shocked the world when he said that all species are from a common ancestor, which is now widely accepted.

The best way to celebrate today is with a photo of a couple of animals, or even a human or two. Jasper and his best friend Kaya are my favourite models. I can get photos of these two just by promising them dog treats, so that they will keep still for a couple of seconds.

Do you have a couple of favourite models that you can get in front of the camera today?
