Animals, including insects, amphibians, reptiles, dogs & fish, all catch my eye. It must be the multitude of colors or the textures of their skin or feathers or fur, or it could be that with the assistance of the zoom lens you can get closer to them than you could without, so I look forward to opportunities to go to zoos, wildlife preserves, parks or swamps. You literally never know what you might capture with every trip where such creatures could be present. I have accumulated a few during the past twenty five years or so, from a couple Tasmanian Devils to my best friend; Reggie the Jack Russell terrier.
In the early 1960's my Father purchased something that changed my life forever. . .A Polaroid camera. It was rather strange in appearance, but it was the latest and greatist in technology at the time. You could snap the shutter, and in seconds out came a picture that slowly developed in front of your eyes in just a few minutes! It was a like having a portable darkroom. Magic! That camera was a springboard into the next decade when I bought my first 35 mm SLR. As they say, the rest is history.
