Merged Photographs

I came across a great gallery titled “50 people see…” by brevity on the Flickr explore page.
The artist was not surprisingly influenced by Jason Salvon. I discovered his amazing Every Playboy Centerfold image about a month ago. It’s part of a larger series.
As a sidenote, I was exploring on Flickr in search of the Andy Rosen - “London Punks 1976 -1984″ gallery which was featured on Rocketboom. Another set of stunning images that are a must see. Which in turn led me to find a set of breathtaking black and whites of New York City in Hughes 500’s greyscale & Cutouts gallery.

San Diego Zoo
November 16, 2004 | 1 Comment
The San Diego Zoo has definitely earned it’s reputation as one of the best zoos in the entire world. Zach and I spent last Friday wandering around the zoo and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Some of the animals were a little disappointing, like the giant pandas, who receive all kinds of hype, but aren’t really all that interesting to watch. Some of the other animals pleasantly surprised us though. The polar bear exhibit was quite good. The observation room was half under water and half above water. One polar bear in particular was extremely playful. We must have stood and watched that bear play with a large plastic toy (it looked like a 3 foot gray Tylenol pill) for 20 minutes. He swam and dove and tossed that toy all over the place. The entire crowd thought he was great. The tiger was another great exhibit because one of the tigers decided to pace directly in front of the observation window. We watched him for quite a while as well.
The zoo is enormous, and it was quite a challenge to find the best path through the zoo with a minimum of back-tracking. Unlike most zoos, the San Diego zoo is not set up so that you can just walk in a circle around and see everything.
So, if you ever find yourself in the San Diego area, reserve a day to treat yourself to the San Diego Zoo (and if you have time, take another day to check out the park that the zoo is in, Balboa Park - it’s got tons of museums and a botanical garden.) Oh, and don’t forget to check out the pictures from the zoo in our image gallery!
