Amazing Wildlife of South Africa and the Western United States: Wildlife I Have Enjoyed Getting to Know and Photograph

Synopsis

I Have Come To Love Wildlife, And Because Im A Photographer, I Also Love Photographing Wild Animals. When I Look Into The Eyes Of An Animal, I See A Soul, And I Want To Get To Know That Soul. I Belong To A Civic Group That Brings Disadvantaged Youth To The Phoenix Zoo. Most Of The Youngsters Have Never Visited A Zoo Before. When The Tram Makes The First Turn And The Children See The Animals For The First Time, Their Squeals And Cheers Of Excitement Bring Me Great Joy. I Want To Bring That Joyous First Look To More People And Further Help Them Understand Animals As Complex Beings Just Like You And Me. Almost Everybody Has Seen A Giraffe, For Example, But They Have Not Had The Opportunity To Get To Know That Giraffe And Feel A Connection With It. I Believe That If I Can Help More People Actually See Wildlife As They Live And Learn More About The Animals, Then More People Will Appreciate Them And Love Them As I Do, Body And Soul.
