This is actually a shot I took over 30 years ago. I didn't have any memory of this slide, it was a complete surprise inside a box processed by Fotomat. I can't be positive, but I believe this was probably taken at the Los Angeles Zoo. Hopefully it doesn't look like this anymore, but when I was growing up this was a pretty standard enclosure for animals. As a child I never even noticed the cruel surroundings. But somewhere along the line zoos began to bother me and I stopped going.

My heart breaks when I look at this animal and I have to wonder did it ever know freedom beyond its cement walls.
