Randy,

Great story. Did not realize the connection before I started reading. Since I grew up in New York in the 40′s could not help but wonder if I had ever heard your dad’s show. My grandfather who was an artist in New York City often had the radio on when I visited – often with music, but frequently with things he thought I might enjoy when I visited him. I can remember listening to the Shadow and Hopalong Cassidy, and still vividly remember the visit to the Dumont studios in the Wannamaker Store to see Captain Video in person. Can’t specifically remember your dad’s show, but it diesn’t mean I didn’t listen to it.

Anyhow, the story about the racoons in Japan is meaningful. I’m a docent at the Kansas City Zoo and one of the programs we take out to the schools is Journey to Survival in which we talk about what is causing species around the world to become endangered or extinct. One of the program’s themes is the unintended consequences from introducing a species into an area where it has no natural predator to maintain the balance of nature. In fact, we use the Marine (Cane) toad that you mention as an example of what can happen. Thanks to the blog, I now have another great example to use in discussing this topic (along with an interesting back story).

Hope to see you in March when we come to visit Joey and Sean so I can hear more about this fascinating story.

“And through the analytics on the site I’ve learned one important thing: Red-painted-nearly-naked-women-carrying-fire is always a good situation to go to if you get the chance. That photograph gets 50 percent more clicks than any other on the home page.”

This was a gem at the end. hahaha

I can think of a word that I consider more offensive than shutterbug. It is: paparazzi.

Hi Melissa and Randy,
Very fascinating pictures, I logged on to learn more about website definition as I liked the way yours was set up and also as I am new to photoshelter,
Then I got hooked while looking through your photos, I only hope to inspire and contribute to peoples imagination with my images, like you have made me feel with yours, my favorite so far is the horses legs and hoofs almost on top of the camera (or so it seems) apart from that all your work is stunning!!!! great photos.!!!!
like you I am able to travel though not being able to stay as long as I would want in many places.I am thinking of making photography a full time career in the near future.
Over the next month I will be rearranging my website I hope you will pay me a visit at cruisenomad.com if you have any suggestions or hints please feel free to contact me.
Chris Taylor.
