PAD 7 GIANT PANDA BEAR
Recently I had the pleasure of joining a Giant Panda Bear for lunch. I kind of felt sorry for the beautiful bear, as he sat alone behind a glass enclosure at the zoo, munching on his greens. And then I realized we had something in common. Being alone. In this field I work in with my photography and my art, it's often very lonely. And it really needs to be most of the time to do what I do. Although this photo was taken at the zoo, most of my photos are taken out in nature when I'm alone. With wildlife, quiet is essential in most cases. (except for when photographing the Shiloh eagles, as they're used to people and there's often several photographers around the area) When processing my work, and when working with textures, I'm working alone in my studio. The local art gallery I was involved in years ago closed down, and there's not a similar type of gallery around this town anymore. I don't like to socialize much -- I prefer quiet and the sounds of nature over loud environments and parties. I don't have many family members in the area. Ninety percent of the time, like the panda bear, I eat my lunch or dinner alone.
I stayed with this guy for a little while that day, just so he wouldn't feel lonely, because while most of the time it's enjoyable, sometimes it's also a little depressing. I thought he would like the company, and I think by the look on his face, he did. :)
InJoy, Jai
