During my travels i've come across some interesting creatures, human and otherwise, so I thought i'd share a bit. A few color, a few black and white, a few digital, and a few with good ol' film. I just hope that you'll enjoy a few......






















































here's one for my friend on the beach in Fla........








finally....

ngdawg

I love your work

Beautiful! I especially love that first one of the bull (looks like he was really checking you out, lol), the second one of the horses (nize!) and the one of the pigs. Yes, the pigs.

That cat man is scary. *shiver*



Cute birds.

Some very beautiful images you got there, joe.

I can't tell - is that a dog or a cat drinking the water? Coz that one's my favourite.

Joe, great to see you posting here again!

On the first shot, did you achieve that effect using a lensbaby?

I love the goose and "swans" and I know exactly where that is.

Excellent work as always.

thanks so much, sweet dawg. believe me, the feeling is mutual........



thank you Dilbert. this was shot down in the abandoned subway bed here in rochester. we found a couple rays o sun filtering though.



thanks brother! I truly appreciate your support. even though most of the time yer just a freakin bastard...




truthfully, that big Ox was as tame as a pussycat. he was standing out in that field all day and just wanted someone to talk to.

the cat man though, I can't really vouch for.

thought you'd like me shootin them birds your way......




thanks alot healer.

that's my cat Larry at the spigot. he'd prolly drink outta the hose if I took him outside......



thanks charlie! spot on with lensbaby. really a fun little tool (kinda like flyman... )

yup, I know you know this place, i'm assuming you've been there many times before.

*Nikki*

What a great thread! Thanks for sharing, paddyjoe. I am reminded of that photo of the cow by the fence that I love so well. Your work is always fun, creative, and inspiring to look at.

I really like the pigs.
