Thanks guys! I was telling Clay over on flickr that the zoo keeper thought I was mad.
And Clay, those are terrific. What a collection of shapes! I have to say, the thought of you making pictures outside at the mall while the shoppers shop brings me comfort. The only way I make it through those sorts of places at Christmas is to pretend I'm a spy infiltrating an alien civilization.

Another day, another wedding...the 8th this year.
Anyway, the reception this time was incredibly crowded. I thought I'd be cute and do a series of these...I know it's been done a million times but whatever. D800E, 28mm f/2 AI, SB-800 flash:
More praise Austin. Wish I had the creativety to make such a nice image.Now THAT is some good photography. Well done!

Thanks Michael. People love those shots, despite it being kind of a social commentary on the phone culture. It's the thing to do - grab a cell phone shot of whatever, just to show "they were there," which is of course immediately uploaded to Facebook or the like.
By the time I get home from a wedding shoot there's already dozens of photos on social network sites of the bride and groom when I hop on Facebook to throw a shot or two up for advertisement purposes.
We had some freezing rain a few days ago. I took some bw LF photos of this apple tree, but I also brought along my digital camera.
