Can I Pet Them?

2007.05.30

I love petting zoos. I love the wonder that you can see in the eyes of children when they are up close with animals. This shot captures part of that spirit of wonder and awe.

deleted090307 I agree with capturing the spirit...you can tell that child is engrossed and fascinated...

Great shot.

JuliaGotz His hand extended, and his tucked body so small between the two giants - this is charming. There are lots of light and dark contrasts in this shot, which keeps the eye moving through the image. The goat with horns framed in the top rectangle is something you discover as you look deeper. Reminds me of going to the zoo with my nieces when they were small.

vollenda Wonderful capture! I think kids have a great kinship with animals that most people lose when they grow up. We forget how to "talk to the animals". :)

deleted062007 Yes, this is the same part that I love - the joys and the smiles that the children have when they touch these animals - but I wonder if we should have one for adults, so they can go just to see these and what we are doing to destroy them - there has to be a balance, and that is what nature teaches us all!! Great work and great shot!!

aggiechristine I love your perspective (down low with the little boy). It makes the shot especially sympathetic to his desire to pat the animals.
