First Impressions: Burrito

This afternoon I went in to shoot some photos of Burrito in the greenhouse. Instead of relaxing on a platform while I snapped a few photos, he immediately sauntered up to the caging (with a blue cup in his mouth) and initiated a game of tug with a plastic tube.

This presented a challenge in photography as it can be difficult to decently capture up-close images of a wily chimpanzee. I did my best though. My first impression of Burrito? Charming!

On a side note, this is a photo of Jody wearing a rainbow sock. Enjoy!

    Best photos! Burrito’s ready for his close-up, Mr. DeMille. And Jody and the rainbow sock. What are they thinking about? I love these chimps!

    As impressive a close up as I’ve seen. And it couldn’t have been on a more handsome subject.

    I love the amazing close up of Burrito, and Jody – an original “Sock Monkey!”:)
