GALLERY::A Day At the San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park :: September- 2010

Over Labor Day Weekend we visited San Diego and made a trip to the San Diego Zoo. My friend Phil Douglis and I, of course, had our cameras. He has posted a gallery of his images from the day. His gallery can be found at: https://pbase.com/pnd1/at_the_zoo For many of the pictures we stood side by side - so you might find some similarities between our images. Hopefully, you will also find some differences. In his introduction to the gallery he very articulately states his position on photographing captive animals. I agree with what he has to say. These images and animal portraits were not made on safari or in the wild. They are from the San Diego Zoo.

What a wonderful gallery, Tim. The animals speak so eloquently, yet most of those images speak of captivity as well as character. It is useful to view the similarities and differences between our approaches to the same subjects -- there are many ways to shoot the same thing, and our images make this point over and over again.
