Title: Lunchtime in the Serengeti - Tanzania
Date: 2014
Description: This photo was taken late afternoon on an exceptionally warm day in Serengeti National Park. A hundred meters from the road lay two large lionesses and a group of seven cubs. When the pair stood to stretch for a moment, every cub pounced on the chance for an afternoon snack. The lions stood in the middle of a large open savanah, a characteristic landscape of the Serengeti. This was the first time we had seen so many cubs in one location with so few adults nearby.

Title: Sounds of the Rainforest
Date: 2019
Description: On a night hike for a field study class at La Selva, I ran into many red eyed tree frogs. These frogs are a national symbol for Costa Rica and difficult to spot on the wild. I was very lucky to see as many as I did, especially this mating pair. The photo was shot on my phone camera with a little teamwork to get the flashlight lighting perfect. Thanks to the frogs for being very patient with me and showing off their beautiful colors.

Title: It's Rude to Stare!
Date: 2019
Description: Being able to see the famous endemic species of the Galapagos in person was a privilege. Part of the privilege is respecting the wildlife in its environment. When this blue-footed booby glared at me, I knew my photography time was done.

Title: Snacking Vervet Monkey - Tanzania
Date: 2014
Description: We drove up to an animal sighting to discover a troop of Vervet monkeys. But this sighting was far from normal. A previous observer had carelessly tossed his sack lunch into the monkey's more than willing hands. We helplessly watched as this Vervet inspected the contents of the bag and settled on a cracker, before continuing to eat every morsel inside. A younger male approached to see what all the fuss was about, and ended up with a small scrap of plastic from the bag itself. This young monkey, having never seen anything like it before, decided to taste the bag. And there was nothing we could do. This moment made me really realize the devastating impact we can have on the beautiful creatures we cohabitate with on this planet. If only we stop and think about our actions, all of them, perhaps we can make a positive change in the world.
