monkey squared

With the summer heat drying Texas out more and more each day, I do best by staying inside out of the heat. Lately I haven't been shooting much, but been reading and writing and making the most of my summer! In need of updating, here's a pic taken at the last trip we took at the zoo. I'll try to get more pics up soon but in the meantime I've become addicted to Instagram, the coolest way to share pictures taken on the run. Please feel free to download the app, find me under 'artbrand' and follow along. Until then, stay cool.

disney: animal kingdom

Okay, more shots from the Animal Kingdom. First shot, that old building? It's a monkey house, surrounded by water but looks like it was built by a civilization that lived long ago. Next shot. That's a bat. A real live bat that at any moment could spread it's wings and attack me by landing on my shoulder and sinking it's nasty bat-teeth into my neck! At least, that's the thoughts I had while looking at it. Here, in the bat belfry, you get to see the bats pretty close up, because the windows through which you see them are open! No glass, no screen, just window and open air. Still, that's a great shot, huh? What kind of photographer am I? National Geographic photographers pull leaches off their legs deep in the heart of the rainforests. They dodge wild hippos and creepy crawlies you only see in the movies...like King Kong. And here I am freaking out about a sleeping bat. Well, enjoy the photos. I'm going to go check my ManHood and get back to you.

disney: asia

Captured this tiger in Disney's Animal Kingdom : Asia. The area looked like the ruins of some ancient village with old buildings with faded artwork, really cool. This tiger was just sitting there licking his paw, chillin', looking great. I waited for a few seconds for him to look up just long enough for the click of my shutter.

I helped shoot a wedding at the Dallas Arboretum this weekend. It was...amazing! Those pictures are coming very soon, in the mean time here is a helpless creature I found nibbling on something right before the bride walked out...
