Get Down and Dirty

I recently took my sister and her little boy to the Oakland Zoo. Every time the zoo train rolled by, Jakey would announce "choo choo!" So of course we HAD to let him ride the train. I had no interest in the train experience, I just wanted to capture my sister and Jakey's excitement. So I had them sit as far back in the train as possible while I sat in the row just ahead of them. Once the train started moving, I got down on the floor and started shooting. Happily there was no one in my row, so I was able to shoot with complete freedom. When the train came back to the station, I got the weirdest looks from people, but I didn't care because I got some really cool shots of the little bugger riding his first train!
