Wild! F/X

I had an amazing day shooting at Fauna Wednesday. The chimps were enjoying time on the islands after the long winter indoors. faunachimps: Binky out enjoying the spring weather yesterday!

I was very happy with the emotion in this shot. Sue Ellen had been relaxing up in the skywalk and she just peeked around the corner for a moment to see who was making all the noise (that would be me.) She looked right at me and I loved the way her eyes looked inside the matching copper “frame.”  These creatures living at Fauna are truly magical. What a privilege to spend time with them-especially these little one-on-one moments. faunachimps: The gorgeous Sue-Ellen.

I was so happy to get this shot.  It is the first time Chance has let me photograph her. She is so gorgeous with all her glorious silvery hair. During her 14 years in the lab, Chance had a terrible time and would bite her fingers, pull out her hair and slap herself continually. Now she lives a better life at Fauna where she has learned valuable social skills from her chimp family. Please read Chance’s incredible story here.  If you are not already following faunachimps, I am sure they would welcome your support. faunachimps: The gorgeous Chance!

I never tire of photographing their hands. I am mesmerized by them… I still pinch myself that I am able to spend time with these remarkable beings. Please check out their home on tumblr. faunachimps: It’s back to school time for the chimps-they love recess. Find out how you can help.

I envy them their tree-houses. I took this while up in a cherry picker. Getting up 50 ft at eye level was quite something. faunachimps: What a day for a daydream…
