denver photo safari

i recent hung out with gino siller and we
totally geeked out at the denver zoo. we had
a RADTASTIC time with a rented $7,500
nikon
400mm f/2.8 lens, thanks to camren.
having rubbed shoulders with fellow national
geographic photographers, it is nice to
pretend for a day that i'm on assignment,
even though it is an urban zoo
self-assignment.
i dedicate this entry to my mom, who has instilled in me a super appreciation of wildlife via our backyard, foreign travels, national geographic, the discovery channel, and animal planet. the writings of ken rockwell served as supporting inspiration :)
here's gino, an animal pimpin' in style with his brand spankin' new nikon d3, which is a nikonian's dream camera. btw, nikon just kicked canon straight in the balls with this new $5,000 digital camera.
after we talked shop trippin' on caffeine, we headed to photograph some of the world's coolest creatures. first up, i spotted dash's new girlfriend. nicole and i agree she's so pretty, she could be waaaaay out of his league:
and here's the rest of the crazy creatures photographed in kern-photo style:
raindeer love.
bambi's competition.
about as homely as they get.... on par with loveable shrek.
the fastest animal on land, the cheetah.
these things will eat you and ALL your loved ones (so i had a bad big bird experience as a little one):
these guys got pissy when they didn't want to share.
and my favorite shot of a siberian tiger.
