This 2013 event celebrated the first anniversary of the zoo’s conservation fund.

 

I was flattered to be asked to exhibit and came up with the idea to photograph the zoo’s endangered or  threatened species.

 

I used my macro lens to create intimate portraits that would not be possible in the wild.  Eye contact with the animals was an important element of my work.

 

An auction of the work from this exhibition raised over $7000 for the fund.
