The big picture

That's a cute little lion cub!

Image by Tambako the Jaguar
Yes! First picture of the lion cubs of the zoo of Zürich. There are four of them: a male (Kuvam) and three females (Kanya, Keladi and Kalika). They were born on July 14th and when I took this picture they were 7 weeks old.

They are very playful and cute, you'll see a lot more of pictures of them in the future! :)

The lion takes a cat nap

Image by Chris Devers
For some reason, he adored the tarantula spider. Just thought it was fantastic. Didn't even seem to mind the tank full of giant hissing cockroaches next to it (which, I'll admit, really freaks me out).

On the other hand, the lion sleeping lazily nearby terrified Isaac.

I crouched down to get a picture of the lion napping, look behind me, and Isaac has bolted. I poke my head around the corner and see him sprinting down the path back where we came from saying "I'm scared, I don't want it, I don't like the lion. Nooo!"

Which is really strange to me, as he always seemed to like the lion here in the past, and likes the lion in, say, GoodnightGorilla.

I guess the lion was just a lot more intimidating in person, and with the tarantula, since he doesn't yet know concepts like "venom" or "poison", it's just a big cute fuzzy bug to him.

Ricci wanted to have a picture with the sea lion but it was just too expensive to pay for a single photo so I decided to place a picture of a sea lion beside her...

Worried Mama

Worried Mama

Image by climbnh2003
Hunter and his cousin were exploring an area they call the clay pit when they stumbled across two newborn flying squirrels. They brought them home fearing that they had been abandoned but upon further scouting, found the nest. We went to return them and discovered that the snag the squirrels had been living in had blown over last night in the wind storm. The mother was still in the area but the nest was a shambles. These pics are mostly of the mama squirrel and we hope that she is able to get her young to the hole in the snag in the last picture of the set.

Baby Blues

Image by BlueRidgeKitties
This little guy at the pet fair still has his baby blues in his eyes, but you can see them starting to change color. He was digging into his blanket a moment before this picture so I asked him what he was doing and was rewarded with this priceless "oops, did I do something wrong?" expression. A moment later he was rolling around, purring and kneading the air, now that he had someone's attention. I'm not sure if he got a name yet - we wanted to name him Squirrel but the "cat lady" in charge had objections against that. *LOL*

Kitten season has definitely started for this summer. This one was too young yet to get neutered, so he went into foster care until he has had his "snip" and can go up for adoption. Just a reminder for all those of you with cats out there: please spay and neuter your cats, especially if you let them wander outside!

Hold on, kids: it's starting to rain, and we gotta run for home!

Image by Ed Yourdon
This was taken on the south side of 72nd Street, between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenue. It wasn't actually raining at this point, but it certainly did look like it was about to start pouring...

As the woman ran by me, she gave me a quizzical look, and said, "I hope you weren't photographing me! I was running!" And I thought, "well, yeah, that's exactly what made the scene so interesting..."

*********************************

This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan -- between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.

As I indicated when I started this project in 2008, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.

I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting -- literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture ... after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.

Thus far, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes ...

The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed ... but there was just nothing memorable about them.

Waking up

Image by fensterbme
Ella waking up in the morning in her bassinet (which she's pretty much outgrown). I have another verison of this photo but at night with some red lights, etc.

This photo was taken with a Canon 5D full frame digital camera with a 15mm f/2.8 fisheye lens sat right inside the top rim of the bassinet, which gives a very 'unique' perspective.

NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr's 'Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day, which makes me somewhat sad as the actual resulting photos didn't make it, ha! You can see all of my photo's that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.

New Born grey seal pup

Image by Andreas-photography
This pup was born this morning, rather quickly, I didnt get the images i set out to get but after talking to Lincs wildlife trust, I decided not to venture out across the sand 100s of people did

I look after injured wildlife, and most injuries are what us humans inflict on them

I love photographing wildlife, but I respect it, It is just that, wildlife, I have no God given right to stomp across the sand and infringe on the animals territory

A true photography would dress in dark clothing, and just take the equipment they needed, a true photography would lay down away from the animal and not approach it in a noisy fashion

Grey seals are very inquisitive lay down away from them and wait and they will then come to you,

learn about your subject, respect it, do not disturb it or force your presents upon it do not make sudden movements and most of all DO NOT TOUCH THEM

I have come home very disturbed and upset by the actions of some photographers whom have visited this place
It ruined my day and kind of turned me off of taking pictures
