Zoo

I am not an animal rights activist so I’m not entirely anti-zoo but you

do have to feel some empathy when viewing caged animals,

especially primates. I had been shooting some close up face shots of

the chimps and was moving to a new location when I saw this lone

chip sitting at the edge of the precipice. I stopped to shoot a

photograph then moved for a different viewpoint. As I moved the

chimp seemed to follow me almost as though he was aware of the

empathy I felt for his situation. It was a little moving because

regardless where I moved the chimp never seemed to take his eyes

off of me.
