I really like black and white photos. I think it lends a more intimate feeling to portraits – you can really concentrate on the person’s facial features and wonder about their personalities and their pasts without the distraction of color.
We’ve been getting some great close-up photos of the chimpanzees lately plus I found a few that we hadn’t posted before, so I thought I would render some in black and white and sepia.
What do you think?
This is a close up of Annie’s eyes:

Jody:
Burrito:
Missy:
Last, but never least, Negra:
Diana — These are gorgeous, simply gorgeous. I love the one of Jamie and her boot — looks like it’s from the Wild West.
I have always loved black&white photography….you can really see the details and features without distraction of colors…beautiful!
Negra has so much personality and life in her expression. I love her.
Really stunning! Thanks for sharing!
I especially like the fotos of Jamie and Negra.
They are all so beautiful – Jody, Negra – Burrito – love them all. Thank you for sharing!
beautiful
Great PICS. But the eyes have a air of melancholy about them.
I love the photographs! Shared on Facebook and rallying the troops to donate. Putting my “wish list” items together tonight. Thanks for giving these amazing animals a second chance.
Thanks for sharing them, Cristen (and everyone else who is sharing). We appreciate people introducing the chimps to new friends!
Hi Diana. My husband and I are from Sammamish, Wa, and we would love to hand deliver some wish list items to you guys. Is that okay or does your organization prefer by-mail only? thank you for the reply.
Hand-delivery is okay – I know that an be cheaper than mailing locally. Just want to make sure you wouldn’t expect to see the chimps :). They’d likely be inside. You can email me: [email protected]. Thanks, again!
Noticed details in their faces I never really focused on before. Beautiful faces.
Such wonderful expressive faces! They are beautiful!
Negra is stunningly beautiful. I’d like a poster of this photo. I would rather see Burrito in color though. His markings really stand out and you can’t see them as well in B & W. Love the photos though!
