An artist named Martyn Norris has recently asked for permission to use one of my Clouded Leopard images as a basis for one of his drawings. I really like the result – thanks Martyn!
And looking at this image took me back to when I was working as photographer and photography teacher at Nashville Zoo at Grassmere. I really enjoyed my time in Nashville and I miss my friends in the Music City USA. I hope to visit again, soon.
If you are travelling to Nashville make sure you visit this excellent zoo – http://www.nashvillezoo.org …
… and also have a look at Martyn’s other work (if your are on Facebook 🙂 – http://www.facebook.com/martynfoxart.

Thank you Christian, this was a superb project to work on. Took a while, but was worth it to make it the best I could possibly make it. The reference was too good not to attempt, with the gorgeous subject and unique pose. Really enjoyed working on this one. 🙂
I think of you every time I go to the Zoo. And, of late, I’ve become friends on Facebook of a handful of photographers that hang out at Radnor Lake. Seems that several are also FB friends with you. Not surprised. Regards.
Awesome . He’s got a wonderful talent.
Awesome! He’s got a special talent. Beautiful subject.
I enjoyed taking your photography class at Nashville Zoo. But even more following your blog.
