This is a shot my brother took of me back in the 90's, working with a large Cinnamon Phase Black Bear.
Please Note!
This is something that, Most People Should Not Attempt!
I get along with animals way better than I do with people!
Always have!
Animals are very honest in the way they deal with you.
It does require a lot of time and patience.
Also, you can't fear the animal you are working with. Respect it, Yes! But, do not fear it.
Animals will sense your fear and can react adversely to it.
Steve (my brother) recently had a bunch of his old slides digitized and sent me some scans of myself working with various animals.
I am very grateful for him doing that.
We used to do a lot of photography together.
Then not so much.
Recently he has got interested in photography again, at my prodding!
This makes me happy, as he is an excellent photographer, when he puts his mind to it.
