Zoo Sadness

My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Argentina | Tuesday, August 17, 2010 | 5 photos

I shot these in the Buenos Aires Zoo in Argentina during a 6 months volunteering trip to South America, I love nature and the joy that freedom implies and in these pictures these animals show anything else but that, they show a sad story of captivity, it may be a good zoo and help animals in it but it's still a cage, like any other zoo.

I am a 27 year old mexican, I studied Industrial Engineering, I recently bought a camera for my South America backpacking trip and discovered that my real passion is photography and through it try to show stories and inspire the care for the planet we live in and the people, animals and plants we live with.
