Today I got a chance to visit the Dallas Zoo. My intent was to photograph portraits and for the first thirty minutes I was able to get to know the lowland gorillas. I talked to a zookeeper about their individual personalities and watched as they were fed.
It was a perfect cool day with lots of light. I wanted just a hint of light on the faces and enjoyed capturing their personalities. What’s to follow are several images of the big cats and the primates.
I must admit being at the zoo brings back some memories I really miss. My son and I used to go to zoos on all of our visits to different states. I miss his company as he gets older and starts having his own life.
Wow these photos are incredible! This is my favorite zoo animal.
As for your memories with your son, they are forever in your heart.
Thank you Kim. They really have such diverse personalities. It was a wonderful day.

Professional shots any wildlife magazine would adore! The expressions you captured are very good. Each made me wonder what they were thinking.. Great post.
