LA Zoo Photo Shoot

On Monday November 14, 2022, members of PADA traveled to the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens for a photo shoot. Jamie Pham, the official zoo photographer, took us on a three hour morning tour of the zoo. He shared both photo tips and information about the animals. We later convened for lunch at Reggie’s Bistro on the zoo grounds. Below is a sampling of images from that event. A big thank you to Rodney Boone and members of the program committee for setting up this fine event!

A full set of images from this shoot can be found here.
