Tiger Cub Recording - 08/2009 : I used to work in the audio group of Microsoft Games. This group creates sounds that go into Xbox & PC games. We were very lucky to have some local celebrities come to the studio and have their vocals recorded! You can visit these now-not-so-little guys (Vitez is the white one & Bagheera is the orange one) at the <a href="http://www.cougarmountainzoo.org/" target="_blank"><b><font color="#FFCC33">Cougar Mountain Zoo</a></font></b> in Issaquah.

Denver Zoo - 07/2009 : I was in Denver in July, so I spent some time at the zoo. It was really REALLY hot, but the animals seemed to tolerate it pretty well. I didn't. The lighting conditions were a challenge too, but I think overall I got some pretty good shots.

Cougar Mountain Zoo - 11/2008 : The tiger cubs, Taj (golden) & Almos (white), are now about 350lbs... about 3/4 of their full-grown size! I had a great opportunity to go behind the scenes with the help of the curator to get these unobstructed shots. It's been fun documenting their growth over the past couple years. Looking forward to the next visit when they'll be even bigger! Oh yea, took some shots of the cranes too.

Cougar Mountain Zoo - 03/2008 : I bought a new Canon 40D and needed to try it out. What better place to do that than at the Cougar Mountain Zoo! The tiger cubs, Taj & Almos, have grown so much in the past 7 mos. Scary thing is, at 200lbs. they're not even half their full-grown size! And the cougars were out enjoying the nice weather too. It was a great day!
