Not Your Everyday Snapshot

Every boy deserves a decisive moment.

Great fun shot Jack, I got a chuckle out of it 

A budding photographer and a willing subject - a winning combination.  Apparently, the photog's mom who is to his left is beaming with pride. I wonder if the kid was able to use the tree branches to frame the giraffe's face as you did, Jack.

Lovely.   A great many years ago in Kenya I visited the Giraffe Center and discovered what long slimy tongues they have when I proceeded to feed one with food from the center which you had to buy. 

Why touching? I don't know!

 

Cheers to that

Your Erwittian sense of humor is showing again....

 

Thanks for the comments on this picture. Simon and Garfunkel were right "It's all happening at the zoo". Who brought the peanuts?

Thanks for checking in. I'm a big fan of Erwitt as you know and especially his dry sense of humor. Every once in a while I look through some of the hidden folders and revisit my old pictures. The ones that I consider the most successful are the ones that make me smile if not laugh out loud. Seems funny for a photographer tp actually get a laugh out of one of his own pictures but I do. That's a good thing...right?.

Yes Jack, it is a good thing. Giraffes always make me laugh.They are proof that nature has a sense of humour.

Both hilarious and scary Jack. I love your game with the scales. Three little tiny human beings, one barely seen at the bottom, the other puting her hand in front of her face to protect herself and the other (what a photo jornalist will he become someday!) defying the danger from the emerging exaggerated beast shooting the unique snapshot.

:--) !

Great fun image, like the balance and frame.

These your zoo images have a life of their own. This one is quite eloquent.
