Going Ape.
Going Ape (Smithsonian Zoo - Washington, DC) - Gorilla mom’s watchful eye. We had an incredible experience with an orangutan later that day… To anthropomorphize the situation, he showed us he was happy to see us by swinging over and pulling a ’see-food’ trick with a mouthful of bamboo (?). Unfortunately, that picture is NSFL (Not Safe For Lunch). Canon 5D Mk2, Leica 90mm f/2.
Desire.
Desire (National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC) - Two ironically placed statues in a classical sculpture section of the museum. You can feel the tension in the air. Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 50mm f/1.4.
