Snapshots: Nicholas Lee
There's something just so utterly endearing when it comes to animal pictures, but being the pesky things that they are, it's tough to get them to hold still, let alone pose for a picture. But like how Coleridge* puts it, "He prayeth best who loveth best, all things both great and small". Similarly, we think it takes some real love to snap animal pictures this well.
*Samuel T. Coleridge--The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

About Nicholas Lee:
My interest in photography started around mid-2005 when I volunteered to walk dogs from the SPCA. I was encouraged to improve my photography skills after SPCA used the photos that I took with my Nokia 6630 for their Web site. I upgraded to an LC-33 compact and started borrowing books to learn more about photography. Shooting with film taught me to slow down and think before pressing the shutter button.
I used to go to a photo lab for high-volume prints, but now I use the HP Photosmart D7360 photo printer which gives me comparable print quality. For animal portraits, it’s especially important that details are not lost in prints.

This photo was one of my earliest shots. Ariel had that attitude that only cats can exude. Taken with my old LC-33
