Of all the things I enjoy photographing, animals are my most rewarding. From the silly monkeys, to the smooth cats and the creepy bugs. You can see how many of these pictures fit the animals reputation. The cats were cool and arrogant as they stared back. The monkeys and chimps threw tamtrums and all kinds of fits of weirdness while many of the birds showed off their elegance. I look forward to photographing these animals more and more and capturing their human touch. One thing was clear to me. These animals looked happy, well fed and comfortable. It's one big family. I hope I get adopted by them!

(Some pictures may look a bit soft. That's because I played with the depth of field and focus to shoot through the cages and glass)
