One of my roles as a volunteer at the Denver Zoo is as a member of the Volunteer Photography Committee. Its main role is as a service providing images for the various stakeholders in the zoo. While a lot of it is your normal animal stuff, there’s also taking photos during special events. One of those events is Free Day.
There are various free days throughout the year, but they’re all there as a way for the zoo to say thanks to the community for their continued support, and to ensure that it remains accessible to everybody.
I don’t normally share photos of other people. Although technically it’s a public place and they’re consenting to photos being taken by being there, it can still feel a little weird. but this one from yesterday was just too good. This kid enjoying the crap out of the Blue-Tongued Skink who just happens to be showing off his name-sake. He’s got the kind of emotion that you simply can’t fake on camera, and the skink is… well… awesome.
