MF #6: Monkey Love

Okay, let me start off by saying that these are baboons, not monkeys. Let me also say that I do know the difference between a baboon and a monkey. That said, the name just fit.

I really enjoyed shooting the Animals roll, more than any other roll I've shot so far. About a month ago, I drove down to Phoenix and spent a couple of days at the Phoenix Zoo. I got a ton of really good photos, although only a few actually came out as I had planned (one photo was a group of giraffes in a perfect line that were supposed to take up most of the space in the shot but ended up microscopic).

I took this photo on Day 2, right after the baboons' feeding time that morning. I saw these two sitting next to each other quite lovingly and thought, "Eh, V-Day's coming up, why not?" It ended up becoming one of my best photos yet.
