Jane Baillie Welsh Carlyle - “Blessed be the inventor of photography! It has given more positive pleasure to poor suffering humanity than anything else that has 'cast up' in my time — this art by which even the 'poor' can possess themselves of tolerable of their absent dear ones.”  

These pictures were all made in the Memphis Zoo. I've been to many zoo's in the past but never really spent much time making pictures. Family came to visit one summer, I took my camera- I was hooked. Perhaps my favorite picture is that of the Silverback Gorilla pictured below. The little Bonobo Monkey (8-001) was used by a publishing company as a center spread for a children's science school book.
