    Mort's experience obviously didn't shake your confidence Jack, excellent portrait shot.

    Good shot of him, Jack!

    I discovered yesterday that there is a show of Weegee pics on here so I will have to try and get there to see some of his work.

    Now that sounds like a job I could sink my teeth into.

    Forgot to respond to your comment regarding the zebra in the Pacific Northwest: The animals at Olympic Game Farm originally came as retired movie animal actors. The founder was the first animal wrangler for Disney and ended up making a home for them here. I generally don't care to put animals into captivity but I think most of them have only known this life and compared to some zoos the environment is somewhat more stimulating. And living without predators and with predictable meals is probably a general improvement over what Mother Nature might dish out.

    There's something very winning about a lop-sided smile. Nice portrait.

    I like his smile, and I guess it reached his eyes too :)
