Side Profiles
November 14, 2021 by Chad -
Throughout the day, as I was taking photos, almost every photo I took seemed like a missed opportunity. The day was the perfect day for photos with the sun not too bright and slight overcast at points. But every time I released the shutter, everybody would turn their heads. It was something I initially didn’t wanted in photos, however, after reviewing what I had taken I realized I had a plethora of side profiles.
Jody on Young’s Hill during breakfast. She is wadging the peel of her breakfast banana.
Missy (right) and Annie (left) looking out onto Young’s Hill in the morning.
Cy in his greenhouse in the afternoon. I almost got a good portrait of the big fella, up until he decided he wanted to play chase conveniently right as I took the picture.
Honey B in her greenhouse soaking up the sun. She took full advantage of what sun she could get after a few days of rain and more in the forecast this week.
Luckily enough, Honey B did allow me to take a photo of her without looking away.
Rayne was the only other person who allowed me to take a capture her beautiful face without looking away.

Rayne is so beautiful!
they know what you are doing..and, they know what they are doing——just messing with you…
Chad, these are beautiful photos. I love the lighting.
I love the fact that you call the chimpanzee “only other person”. They truly are. 🙂
Each chimp is magnificent to see from every angle. I think the profile photos are perfect, especially that top photo of Annie and Missy. They look so satisfied sitting together with the sun beating down on their backs. It’s a sweet moment. And it was nice of Honey B and Rayne to hold their pose for you. Best part of each photo is that you can see that the warm sunshine is being enjoyed by everyone in their own way.
Awesome shots of awesome poses. I believe certain side-profiles make some of the best shots. Please more side-profiles.
Thank you.
I think that’s the most beautiful photo of Honey B ever taken.
What beautiful images! I love them all! Thanks for posting.
Of course Beezus will look at you…she has to, while she feeds on your soul, mua ha ha….
Beautiful coat Rayne is rocking there!
Yhanks for the photos. Chad! Always good to see Missy/Annie. Annie/Missy. And Jo’s is so interesting, as usual.
Beautiful photos Chad!Beautiful photos Chad!
Great photos! I wish and hope that World 2022 can be as peaceful as the chimps are communicating in these awesome pictures!
