Iguanas of Puerto Rico





The Green Iguana is found in Central and South America in moist and dry forests. They spend their time doing activities like
swimming, sun bathing and tree climbing. The Iguana is omnivorous, so it eats both plants and meat, especially leaves and fruits. I photographed these iguanas, while on a photo adventure in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Tai Shan at National Zoo




I photographed Tai Shan at the National Zoo four days before he left for his new life in China. It was a sad, but also a joyful occasion. I hiked over to the Zoo on a sunny, but very cold day to say good-bye and take some photographs of my favorite Zoo animal. My quest for photographing animals started at the age of sixteen. The Zoo offered a quiet and tranquil place for me to explore my creative nature. Photographing animals at the Zoo gave me valuable experience in preparation for eventually photographing animals in their natural habitat.
