Bronx Zoo

Zoos are one of the most exciting things you can see as a child, and perhaps one of the most depressing things you can see as an enlightened adult. The Bronx zoo is world-famous and rightfully so; pick your dates carefully and go in the morning if you can before the rush gets there… don’t pick the weekend! One of the funny things about my personality, is that I will shoot anything. It makes it all the more titillating and squeaky fun, when I can actually say with a straight face I’m going to take my Canon and shoot something! I can stare at monkeys and apes forever. I took so many pictures of the Wolf monkeys, that one actually fell asleep while I was shooting it… couldn’t care less, that monkey. There is fish, bugs, bears, snakes, apes, and monkeys ad nauseam. for me this is a great place to catch up on my camera skills, and a good part of the day will be trying to shoot through glass. That can be a challenge, and challenge accepted! I recommend the zoo, without reservation… a lot of it is inside, so even on the bad weather day you can enjoy much of the offerings.
