I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.

You see something happening and you bang away at it. Either you get what you saw or you get something else--and whichever is better you print.

Actually, the animal pictures came about in a funny way.

When I was a kid in New York I used to go to the zoo. I always liked the zoo. I grew up within walking distance of the Bronx Zoo. And then when my first two children were young, I used to take them to the zoo. Zoos are always interesting. And I make pictures.
