The struggles of blog photography
October 25, 2016 by Anna -
Each day of the week, sanctuary staff members trade off the responsibility of being the Lead Caregiver for the day. The Lead Caregiver is tasked with keeping to the routine of the day, moving doors to close off an area for cleaning, and taking photos and writing for the daily blog. Some days the blog photography can be the most challenging part of the day. There are often entire afternoons when the chimpanzees choose to spend their time off grooming out of sight from the camera. There are also days when the chimpanzees are right in front of you, but seem to have other thoughts on their minds besides holding still for a photo.
This video was taken a few months ago as staff member Katelyn tried to get a photo of playful Burrito.
Somewhere in between play bouts, Katelyn managed to get a few stills of this handsome guy. Maybe you recognize this particularly gorgeous one?

His face just melts my heart !! <3
What a great picture!
All those wild bouncy moves of Katelyn’s were well worth it, this one photo of the Amazing Mr. B. is noteworthy! I so admire all you do in the course of your day. Thank you caregivers just for being you!
PS: I personally feel as if all of your photos (and videos) are noteworthy!
Fabulous
How could you not love that face. Burrito is very special.
