Zoo Use 101

Do you really see the animals in the zoo? A while back, during a visit to J. Paul Getty Museum in Santa Monica, I heard a guide say that the average time spent watching a work of art in the museum is five to ten seconds each. At first I was shocked. For now I found myself in a trance alongside Van Gogh “Irises”. Museumgoers I did not even mind breaking them only when they blew past. Then I realized that the syndrome of “seeing”. Unfortunately, most people who came here were visionaries in the art, not observers of the art. It turned out that this was also no guide.

Unfortunately, in this case, “seeing” is not like the word means. In fact, the very opposite. Where most of us picture a seer and visionary psychic or as someone who has unique knowledge and wisdom, the lights I am referring to visionaries like a tourist. They are a subspecies painful dominant in our culture. Tourist-sighted, as the zoo “for animals.” And they certainly did. They look at each animal, do not get more than if she had stayed at home and returned through the Big Picture of the animals of their children had received for Christmas.

Too often these days we have our zoos and museums as a means of fulfilling its social obligations. They are conventional means to entertain visitors of the city or spend the experience of quality time with your friends and family. In the chaos of socialization, the beauty of the solo exhibition loss. For two masterpieces natural and artificial appreciate people have to slow down and take the time to truly appreciate individual works. In short, they must respect not only to see.

The game processing
Several years ago the Zoological Society of San Diego has changed me from a light animal for an observer of animals. My transformation happened when I started working as a worker in the company of the program behavior of observers. My job was simple. I would look to a single animal for a full day, with notes on what do about my lens. At the end of the first hour, I knew I was guilty of years of misuse of the zoo. I am a convert.

In my previous life as a seer, I would go to the conquest of a whole zoo in one day with the other members of my species in tow. sore feet and cherished memories are often the result of the trip. As a seer, I looked at the animals in their cages, read the large letters on some of the characters (name, habitat, food, etc.), take a look at the hypnotic subject and then move to the next cage. All the while I was socializing with other people. Then repeat this process trivial. I can relate to small zoos in one visit. Boy, what I get for my money?

These days, I like learn some new plays and visiting friends from past trips. I seldom see more than one game at a zoo in a few days, but experience has on my soul. As an observer, I study the animals and enclosures, to hear and photos for future reference and relax and watch my career. The development of familiarity, I remember from my visit a truer knowledge and a greater respect for animals than I have in mind.

ODYSSEY BILL OF SHOE
For example, during my work, I came to know and look the oddest animals enjoy. At first glance, many, because this creature Richard Simmons be lethargic. The Zoological Society asked me to comment on the first bill Stork shoes delivered on an island in the San Diego Wildlife Animal Park.

For those of you not familiar with this case, I would say, good shoes are large, dull, gray, prehistoric birds looking for something slower than most things dead. My first notes on a period of days 9 hours of observation and thirteen read “11:08 walked three steps leading from the pond,” drunken 11:19 (duration 35 seconds) “,” 12:01 diverted from the water. “Try the receiver with this insightful piece impress.

Fortunately, his third day on the island, my goal has relaxed (now almost all mobiles hours) and I was perched. The lights were going on at us. Each verb mentally trying to figure out why I look at the image of the dinosaur bird.

“Are you describe it?

“What is sculpture?

“What would you say is true?”

“No, it is not.”

“Is it?”

The photographic opportunity would be tempted by a light look at the statue TV photogenic. Sometimes, the statue back around to look back. The light caught immediately start back. The camera was right to launch forward. Then the picture froze again and I would do my paper for hours on the floor laughing quietly. Together, we expect our next victim. As a soothsayer, I’d probably still ignore this kind existed. So how could I be grateful? I certainly would not ever found a shoe Bill fun I had not given due course.

New perspectives
A word of warning here, so it is relatively easy to reform an indicator of an observer, it is impossible to reverse the procedure. You’ll never be able to remove it carefully and return to the kingdom of lights. It’s like trying to stuff a chicken adult back into his shell. Zoos as a social event will be a hell!

Seers observers will slow. Even an observer who is moving to its maximum potential rate of 2.5 minutes per exposure frustrated will be left in the dust by an average of 10 seconds by exposure stealth-like visionaries. In turn, an observer will be disgusted by the lack of interest and the SEER individuals. An indicator is an observer to find a know-it-All. An observer of hatred is openly gay.

Seers will smack their lips in an attempt to animal care. Do not do that! What do you think? “Oh, two million animals each year under the unrelenting noise that you idiots. Now I do. Come my friend Show how special I am. Are you one chosen.” Good grief, give me a break.

An observer will want to save a light snap. The observer must brakes, lights travel in packs. The observer is a lonely zoo. A special person to understand and share with periods of calm, not difficult to find in the outside world.

More attention is a skill that can benefit humanity in almost all aspects of his life. Unfortunately, many do not even try to make the change. A natural occurrence of the unknown will be held. For many of those who hear this trial, most will not listen.
