A Giraffe Whisperer

Some days I can't believe they pay me, and other days they can't pay me enough. That's the life of a photojournalist. I have always enjoyed working with The Memphis Zoo. We have an awesome zoo here in Memphis. Their giraffe, Marilyn, gave birth to her sixth calf May 16, the baby male is named Tamu. This giraffe is a great mother and is the same mother that I photographed years ago, in what has become one of my most popular photographs, with another baby.
