Truly awe-inspiring. Yet, one nagging thought still lingers. Even though I'm a freelance photographer, and I've photographed at a family's home, I never get to go to the zoo on assignment.

By eating dead things and excreting out a rich mulch they provide a fertile <em>soil</em> in which plants can grow and thrive. Photographers pick the images from those plants to make all sorts of delightful photography products like jam and wine. Eventually those photographers return to the soil and are eaten by worms. It's all part of the circle of life. The lesson: photos grow on trees. They don't call it photosynthesis for nothin'.
