This was taken at Bristol Zoo. I'd gone to take pictures of the animals, and came back with, almost exclusively, pictures of people. So much for 'Watching the Animals', eh? : )
This was a deceptively busy walkway, but I managed to grab a couple of shots while sitting on the opposite bench.
Update:
At The Zoo : Watching The Animals is the image which, in significant part, provided the catalyst for the renewed enthusiasm in my photography.
Last year it made the finalists [and was featured in] The Independent Photography Competition. Then, this summer [2008], after being nudged by a good friend, I entered two images [among 1000s] into the Tate’s Street Or Studio competition, and it won through again. So, for a few weeks in the summer, you could see this image on show in Tate Modern! And, if that wasn’t surreal enough, in November it was projected to a size of about 15feet by 12feet for the official Street or Studio : A Photobook launch in Tate Britain… with the Turner Prize candidates through one adjacent archway, and a Francis Bacon retrospective the other… just bizarre! : )
