The Glass Between Us: Reflections on Urban Creatures
I'm not exactly known for my love of animals, which I've always put down to my parents never letting my brother or I keep a pet when we were kids. The couple of times I've shared a house with a cat or a dog, I've maintained a distinctly hands-off attitude. Who needs to waste time and money looking after an animal? Sure, animals are great for kids, but I've always felt somewhat suspicious of those adults who dote after cell phone images of puppies. Have children already!
More recently I've tried to adopt a slightly broader view, even going along to some zoos and trying my hand at animal photography, which I have to admit I really enjoyed. Note: if you want to get my attention, 100 pink flamingoes will always beat Snookums the house cat.
In another of those 'what-would-I-do-without-the-internet?' moments, this morning I came across Rebecca Norris Webb's photography on the Blue Earth Alliance's homepage. You have to see these images. Take your time and go through the ten pictures in the slideshow. Many of them are quite disturbing, which in this case is a very good thing.
