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.
Tame.
Tame (Philadelphia, PA) – Lions at the zoo. I see all these great animals through the photography of my two employers, but never get to see them in person. I was surprised to be so excited to see them live and breathe, even if they are behind plate glass. Canon 5D Mk2, Leica 180mm f/2.8.
