Zoo Camp: Photography by Myles

Myles went to Zoo Camp several weeks ago.  The first part of the week was learning about vertebrate animals: mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish.  On the last day of the camp they took a bus to Salt Lake and spent all day at the Hogle Zoo.  He was gone for 12 hours!  We sent him with the camera and we were surprised it came back working, though, Myles thought is was broken.  He had filled the 1 GB card.  Lots of pictures and video!  We went though them and either deleted them because Myles couldn't tell what it was or we edited them (It was about half and half :-)).  And with my mad skills at cropping and manipulating the light, some pictures just couldn't be saved.  He was okay with that.  Myles wanted to post all the animal pictures, but I'm the editor so .... many, many minutes later ....
