Continuing with the black and white/grey theme from Saturday, and thanks to comments on that blog post, I decided to truly embrace this way of seeing and capturing images by setting the camera to monochrome and finding out what might happen.
I had to climb a ladder in the greenhouse to get these photos, but Burrito willingly served as the most handsome subject anyone could hope to have.
I might just be in love with black and white.
Burrito wears it well.
WOW, WOW, WOW!
Fantastic photos of ” the boy “
Those eyes…..!! Never get tired of looking at those eyes.
The most handsome chimp in the world!!! LOVE the black and white <3
Those are amazing pictures. You just want hug him he is so wonderful. How can you not love these chimps they are so terrific. Their eyes are so soulful.
I suoi occhi ci parlano. Una vita intera da raccontare.
What a wonderful face! Black, white or grey, Burrito is a very handsome guy!
Get Out of Town!!! SO worth the climb Diana! Mr. B is a photographer’s (an an artists) dream model. I keep staring at those eyelashes in the first photo. 😊 Oh is he ever perfectly, adorably, charmingly handsome! I love you dear Burrito….
Wow Diana! The lighting and the beauty that is Burrito! Gorgeous! The world needs to see him!
Burrito as with the rest of his family, is absolutely perfect❤️
Hear, hear! They are all works of art and wonder.
I totally echo everyone else’s comments ~ just stunning!! I had a dog who LOVED to have his pix taken and would actually pose and smile ~ maybe it’s similar for chimps ~ some just really love it. It’s that way for ppl too so…..hugs and love to you all and thanks so much for these beautiful pix…..
Wowsie wow. He’s magnificent! I’m rally loving your black and white photos almost as much as I love these chimps! 💗
You have captured the intelligence of this wonderful chimp!
What a charmer!! Beautiful Burrito. xox
Crying! Okay, that last one is a KILLER. These black and whites would look fabulous reproduced large. Sell them beautifully framed for megabucks at your next fundraiser. Really. Very very classy.
With these photographs, there is now incontrovertible proof — incongruity in generation and genetic material notwithstanding — that Burrito is my maternal grandfather’s identical first cousin. I look forward to more works of art in black and white and the shades between.
