Animals

We Are All AnimalsThis book is dedicated to people who LOVE animals. In animals lie a purity of soul and spirit. I have a very deep affinity with all animals. We understand each other. We all have many primal animal qualities.When I connect with an animal, the animal says hey Zatar I like your energy, then the animal strikes an intense pose. Snapping a picture becomes a cosmic event. To me taking a perfect photo is like freezing an animal's soul in a magical moment. My soul connects with all animals just like a little kid. I am a very fast shot and I shoot a lot to capture that magic of the moment. I love to experience the pure emotions of connecting with another living soul. I float on the vibrations creating beautiful animal's pictures frozen in time forever.My best friend growing up was my first dog Frisky. My whole life I have taken many cool photos of animals. Back in the day in the ancient world of film. You had to know the film speed the ASA rating that describes how quickly the film reacts to light and exposure values - F-Stops, Shutter Speeds and Film Speed had to be mastered. But now it is all digital better and faster.I have taken pictures of many strange pets in bars, little ferrets to turtles to one dog sipping a cold beer in a glass on a hot summer night. The exotic animals come from small fairs and animal preserves and zoos and aquariums. Where I live in the mountains, I have a friendly Black Bear that comes around (photos included) and a pet chipmunk that comes to the glass door window and looks at me. I have a nest of Red Robins practically touching my house and they come around like family. We also have a very friendly frog that hangs out at night right next to me on the patio. We also have a big gardener snake that comes to the window and says hello. We have many mice that live in the attic of our house. I know them well because I humanely catch them and drop them off far way.My photos offer a peek into my world of animals from their perspective. Perhaps a reflection on how they feel. I now have such compassion and love for animals I can no longer eat them. One day I saw two beautiful white sheep playing at a farm and that very night I was served Lamb chops. I said hell no to the Lamb chops. They reminded me of my two pet dogs Woody and Poggie and I would not eat them. Who does not love Animal Sanctuaries that show the world what it really means to be an evolved, compassionate human being? Some of my images are in their pure form, in others I use intense image processing to enhance the Love energy exploding in my on fleek art.
