Tom
Little did I know that you providing the opportunity to shoot the large cats would change my life... for the better
What started out as a fabulous trip has turned into a volunteer gig for me at a big cat rescue west of Ft.Worth and the adoption of the most beautiful leopard (grumpy also) in the world.
For me it is a wonderfully relaxing experience to be among these beautiful creatures...but I never would have headed down this path had I not signed up for the tiger shoot with you guys. Thank you for providing it.
--- So Thank You so much!!
I will be forever grateful.
Whitney

You wouldn't happen to have any Jaguars out there that can be photographed, would you?

Very nice shots! Tiger shoot is an awesome experience. Looks like you get to live it every day.

What a great piece of news. I'm so glad that you found a calling to help out the big cats. It's truly amazing just how many big cats there are just around the metroplex - if only people didn't acquire them without understanding the intensity of the needs these wonderful creatures have. I know that I get a great deal of satisfaction at having helped raise almost $20,000 over the past couple of years for the cats at Pug Mark Park as I'm sure you feel at having volunteered at this rescue.

BTW, is this location open to photographers and secondly, is it photo friendly?
