These tusks were so big I thought it was a mammoth or something, but, no, it's an elephant. It's one that lived a long life in captivity (rather than a shorter life in the wild). Tusks never stop growing so older elephants end up with larger tusks. These are the largest known tusks from Sri Lanka.

Cattekruie in the West Coast National Park

I hated having to shoot from behind the glass at the different animals. Guess this turned out okay.

I'm having a hard time putting the two words captivity and conservation together. Somehow I wished these animals were back in the wild. Not sure why we can't conserve from there.... oh well

this was adoption day for bruce. wombats aren't a common sight in atlanta,

so it seemed a very logical thing to do. he'll have a good home and have some fun.

Visit to the Zoo July 2012

A photographic investigation into the concept of 'Captivity' from Foundation/BA studies.

Photographs from 1997/1999/2000.

This guest, allegedly famous, actually offered to buy our photographer a drink from the party's open bar, a classic move.

I am ready for love

Why are you hiding from me

I'd quickly give my freedom

To be held in your captivity

captivity

these are the photos of my project called captivity about animals life in behind bars in the zoos

Moonridge Zoo

Big Bear, California

This Bald Eagle is one of the approximately 100 animals that reside in this zoo. All of them have some form of injury that prevents them from being able to survive in the wild. This particular bird was shot by some punk a**hole in southern California. Luckily they did not kill him, but he cannot fly and he is partially blind. Now he spends his days hopping around in his cage with other eagles like himself.

This to me symbolizes two things:

1. Perseverance

2. Captivity

These are two contradicting perspectives of the same picture. Comments are welcome.

Our city had a "birds of prey" day when a nature conservator brought birds of prey. This Falcon was beautiful and his colors looked like someone dropped him into God's paintbucket. However notice the shackels on his leg. He had been injured and could no longer survive on his own in the wild.
