The man with a pet hyena.

June 16th, 2008

I have seen this image pop up again and again, so I have decided to add it to this, my scrap book of online clippings, because it interests me. I don’t know if it is a scene from a film or just a lucky photographers snap shot in what appears to be an African country. Either way it is an interesting example of a great photograph, the subjects expression, the colour, the contrast between elements, it all works together to bring the subject to focus and make this an interesting to view photograph.
