Though they might not always like to admit it, furries are people too. The geeky subculture known as “furry fandom” has gotten a lot of press over the years — most of it related to the sexual aspects of some parts of the culture. But British photographer Tom Broadbent knows that for all their apparent weirdness, furries are a lot more like us than we may imagine. In his ongoing series At Home With the Furries, which we recently spotted over at Feature Shoot, Broadbent captures some of these “furries” at home, engaging in the same mundane tasks we’re all familiar with — just a little bit more fuzzily. After the jump, check out a few of our favorites from Broadbent’s series, and then be sure to head on over to his website to see the rest, as well as much more of his work.
