San Diego Nighttime Zoo starts today!

Today marks the beginning of the San Diego Nighttime Zoo for 2014. Instead of being open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m each day., the Zoo will stay open until 9:00 p.m. each and every day through September 1, 2014.

I love the Nighttime Zoo! Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! (Smile if you think I’m excited!)

Remember that if you come to San Diego on business or vacation, contact me because I often have free tickets to the San Diego Zoo, Safari Park, or SeaWorld. With enough notice, I can usually play docent for a day!

Also, if you fly into San Diego, sit on the left side of the plane. The view of downtown San Diego as you are landing is awesome!

Following are some of my favorite pictures from past visits to the Zoo. Eventually, Photographic Art will be created from these pictures and Julian will upload them to my galleries at Fine Art America for purchase in many different forms (traditional prints, prints on metal or acrylic, posters, cell phone cases, etc.).

Need a unique gift?
Consider Photographic Art!

I am so sorry I woke you up

With all my blogging these past two months, I’m getting behind on cataloging all the pictures I take each day, typically somewhere between 200 and 500. My employee, Eric Cooper, whom I hired in April 2011 to help me catalog 53,000 pictures (which has since grown to 73,000 pictures) is off pretending to be a WordPress expert, and with the path he’s on, he’ll be there soon. That leaves me to somehow find motivation to catalog as well as photograph.

In order to motivate myself, I decided that each day I’ll catalog some animal pictures, choose up to five of the best, and post them here in my new “my own little world” series. Hope you enjoy it.
