Polar Bear & Fish

Michelle and I love the new Polar Frontier exhibit at the Columbus Zoo. We can get some really great shots of polar bears in the water without all the hassle of neoprene wetsuits, scuba gear and, you know, freezing our butts off.

If you dream of being a wildlife photographer but don't have the time or budget to go on safari, a zoo membership is a great deal. We paid $69 for our membership and now we're at the zoo almost once a week. Best of all, now you can go after work and spend the entire afternoon at one enclosure trying to get that special shot.

The Spider's Web

I woke up yesterday morning to find this beautiful bit of construction hanging from my front porch. Having taken courses in photojournalism at OSU, I've had to break my prejudice against fiddling with a photograph to make it better. Luckily, I had the spray bottle full of water handy to give it a little pop. Now, I can justify having the spray bottle in the living room since it's not helping me train my cats not to scratch the furniture.
