in ann arbor, they're hand fed all aroud campus and come right up to/follow you around. i'd be more concerned about the model tho...she looks like she has squirrel-phobia....

Actually she's telling him that if he doesn't move she's gonna throw him off the bridge. 

Oh.. and this is Stanley Park in Vancouver... where 99% of the wild life is hand fed and follow you around.  While moving locations, we had 3 racoons just sauntering along behind us.  Coupla swans joined the parade.  And believe it or not.. it was actually hard to have the model stand beside a tree without one of these squirrels running up behind the tree and peeking around it.

Damn! If I lived there I'd totally take advantage of this situation. It'd be great for getting shots of wildlife, but also wildlife interacting with people. I see a ton of possibilities.

  Very cool!

Walk in there with a bag of peanuts and you look like Uncle Remus or Dr. Doolittle

These guys are just as bad.

Heh, I read the title and thought I had a great story .. though it's not about wildlife.

I get an assignment to take a photograph of a "moped gang". (This is San Francisco, there are more people doing more stupid things than you could ever imagine possible). After some struggling, I get them to agree to be photographed, though they'll only meet me at night, at a pub in one of the more interesting areas of our fine city. So I'm attempting to photograph some 40 people on mopeds, on a busy city street at night, surrounded by crackheads, hookers, trannies, tranny hookers and the homeless. With a nice SLR and a big flashgun with an enormous diffuser on it hoping to get a useable photograph for the newspaper.

And a drunk guy dancing in front of them hoping I'll give him some money to go away.

Got to love this job sometimes .

hahaha priceless!

Despite the presence of incredible works of art, meaningfully deep, thoughtful, and emotionally evocative images, the pussy shot is my all time favorite.  No idea whether it was a goof or intentional, but it's genius.  LOL.

It's a pussy shot for sure.

If that was a planned shot, fucking brilliant!  If a goof, fucking lucky!
