The other day on her show she had this photographer on there (I can't remember his name) who like to take pictures of animals on a white background. It was pretty neat stuff, taking close ups of lions, elephants, etc. I wish I could do a photoshoot liek that one day but then again I am a chicken. Well anyways I went to her site and she had this one challenge for viewers, to write her with interesting websites that she should check out. I told her about this site. I figured if she is interested in photography with animals then this site would be even better. I hope she decides to share this site with everyone on the show. I am positive there are way more interesting pictures on this site, no disrespect to the photographer who was on her show, but alot of people on here are crazy talented. Everyone should keep up with her show, I wouldn't want to miss it if it does happen. Her show is pretty awesome on its own anyways! Well I just wanted to share my story, sorry if it was a complete waste of your time. LOL, have a great nite everyone, I better get back to work now, hehe! :)

Don't tell PETA, but I've actually "borrowed" (bought & returned) pets from a pet store for photo shoots. A frog & a couple of turtles. Just explained later that I changed my mind. ;)

She'll probably be more impressed if you spell her name correctly ... :-(

Some of her lines can be quite inspirational:

So you're a tease in the animal world as well? :P

I know how to spell her name (after I looked it up researching my photo) -- I don't quite get why you are calling me "ignorant." :-(

You say you "invited" her to visit this site; what will she think when she sees the thread announcing that fact has her name spelled incorrectly?

Andrew Zuckerman'sstuff is rather cool..

Check out the Light on white or the white on white challenges for inspiration on the white background stuff..

Our Wildlifechallenges have definitely produced television worthy animal shots..

I'm guessing it won't be the first (or the last) time with a name like that.

Oh, I think I saw two books by the photographer you're talking about at Borders a couple weeks ago. Big beautiful books full of pretty amazing photography - there were all sorts of animals, too - alligators, giraffes, lions, puppy dogs and little kitties. Very impressive and surreal looking, though.

I watched Ellen that day. That guy gets up close and personal with the animals.

You shouldn't antagonize people during the holiday season. If I were the DPC dictator I'd give Dutch Ovens to all the Spelling Nazis. ;-P

My knew spell chequer

I have a spell in chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques for my revue
Miss steaks I kin knot sea
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee four two long
And eye can put the error rite
It̢۪s rare lea ever wrong
Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather I am wrong or write
It shows me strait a weigh
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased too no
It̢۪s letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew

Someone should be accredited for this but I don't know who. Bad me.

Shouldn't that last word be 'whirred'?
