I made a quick trip to Cincinnati this week and got to spend a day at the zoo with my uncle (wAlanb). After two years of admiring her Flickr images, we finally got to meet up with Connie Lemperle (lemperleconnie). As an official, volunteer Cincinnati Zoo Photographer, Connie was the perfect hostess.

 

After we talked photo equipment, Connie showed us the ins and outs of photographing the new tiger cubs and other residents of Tiger Canyon. Having followed her photography, descriptions, and interaction with Flickr members, Connie is just what we expected, a very nice lady with a big love for people and animals.

 

Thanks Connie. We had a great time shooting with you and hope to do so again in the not to distant future.
