JOB SECURITY

Description

Times have been tough the last few years but not many SANE PEOPLE would be interested in this Daily Routine. Even yours truly would take a pass on this. Tossing them food once or twice might be a rush. Familiarity however breeds sloppiness and getting careless doing this could lead to your TOTALLY DISAPPEARING FROM THE WORK FORCE.

Besides I enjoy watching people do CRAZY STUFF and occasionally capturing it.

HAPPY MONDAY MORNING

Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/2000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 1600, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 500.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

Only way to get the angle other than standing next to the other gators waiting to Dine. #10081939

There must be better and safer ways to make money. I can't believe how close he is. An interesting and excellent capture here Jack. #10082547

Terry Cervi level-deluxe April 09, 2012

Don't think I'd want to do that if it was the last job on earth. Whoa! It sure made for a great shot though, Jack! #10082680

Agnes Fegan level-deluxe April 09, 2012

Gotta love the title on this one! I think the 500mm lens was a good, safe choice!

We were in California last week - arrived on Sunday and landed back in NY on Saturday morning. My daughter had the week off and they had a small bridal shower for her out there ... Weather was great :)

What an amazing sight Jack! I have yet to see anyone get this close to an Aussie crocodile, even Steve Irwin came up from behind them! #10082874

Great capture Jack, I could see you doing this but you would be on the other side of the fence with a 10 foot pole. #10083113

Robert K. Bemus level-classic April 09, 2012

I was kind of thinking along the same lines as Gord. Hope he's at least wearing a cup. Great capture, Jack!! #10083250

Debbie Bray April 10, 2012

No Jack, I don't like crocodiles, and I could NEVER become a handler. I can't understand why he's standing that close! #10083439
