JayT Loc: Buffalo NY

I just discovered Ugly Hedgehog, first of all - why is it called Ugly Hedgehog?
Before I became a professional photographer, I was a zoo keeper, and I think hedgehogs are cute. I grew up in I;;inois, and got into photography because I wanted to do wildlife and zoo photography.But I had to pay the bills, so...
I've been a professional photographer in Western NY (between Buffalo and Rochester) for over 30 years. I mainly photograph weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and portraits.
Since I went digital I have been getting some nature and animal photography done and I really enjoy it.

What took ya so long, we've been waiting for ya since August.. :)
"Google" was all ready taken, and who'd go to a site called "Pretty Hedgehog"

So let me get this straight..you were a ZOOKEEPER in BUFFALO, and a PHOTOGRAPHER in ROCHESTER. Next thing you know, you'll tell us you were a cement mixer in Portland, Maine. And a mixologist in Bar Harbor...

Welcome anyway. :) Have some fun.

No, actually, I was a zoo keeper at zoos in Springfield, Illinois, and in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne Indiana, and came to western NY to manage a zoo for a Theme Park, but it didn't work out. I have my home/studio in Corfu, NY. I'm about 1/2 way between Buffalo and Rochester, but we are more often in the Buffalo direction.

I've also wondered why it's called ugly hedge hog. Oh well, follow the threads and have fun! I like pic #2.

the admin refuses to divulge the reason. It probably has to do with some traumatic event in his childhood. Welcome. I loved how the flower girl in #2 is framed by the 2 women. very lovely shot.
