A Look Back: Shooting Eyes at the National Zoo

Eagle Eye
This noble picture has found its way into several web sites and one book. I don’t shoot to get published but I have to be honest and say it certainly feels good when people ask to use my pictures!

Many of the animals I see along the Appalachian Trail I see only fleetingly. Bears scamper off often before you can even focus on them. Deer may pause and stare but it’s only seconds before they bound away. Rarely do I have the privilege of staying in their presence for very long.

OK, so at the zoo they’re confined and that explains why they can’t run away!However, nowadays animals are not caged and they’re treated quite well within their confinement habitats. At the zoo I’m able to linger in their presence and that’s what I was looking for to put my new lens to quick use last Christmas.

I went to the National Zoo to focus on animals’ eyes.
