Often, once the camera is set and the subject is ready, it's hard to determine who is hunting who.

Last night I had the camera along for the ride, dinner in the city - travel by train. We meet to gather a small contingent and a photo opportunity presents itself. My initial concern for the fish was immediately washed away as I realized I had become the prey.

It's not the first time the camera has drawn attention to me, it's just part of the routine. How you handle it completely determines the outcome, more on that later.

Tonight I will suffer only a head butt and a sniffing attack, to finish it off, I get a nice long rub past the camera and my cheek. Matisse is interested in the camera, is it his reflection on the lens? I am interested in not having to clean the lens...

"No Fish were harmed in the shooting of this scene," I am told they never are.
