Some people may already have seen this on National Geographic, but it's well worth a look.
A guy called Joel Sartore has figured correctly that many animals are no longer in the wild and only exist in real numbers in Zoos - but that means that if anything goes wrong with the Zoo breeding program they could disappear altogether - so he has set out on a mission to go around the American Zoo's with a simple studio set-up taking pictures of the animals while they are still about.
First link is an enchanting video (and story below it)
Video link
Second link is a series of still shots showing how he got the photos and how wonderfully low tech he kept it all. Includes some fascinating shots of him taking a picture - then the finished product such as shots 4&5 or 8&9
Set Up shot's
Enjoy |

I was laughing hysterically at that point! So innocent, so not giving a crap about human agenda... so warms the cockles of my heart. |
