Boston Globe Staff photographer Essdras M Suarez experienced a two week safari in Kenya and Tanzania this year. Here is a selection of what he captured and thoughts upon his return:
As a photojournalist, youre always looking to capture moments that define life. In the wild, youre witnessing life or death situations, and its a truly humbling experience. Were used to living in a world where we humans are top predators and life is extremely safe. When you find yourself in an environment where youre no longer the top predator, it puts things in perspective to see how and where we fall within the food chain. I never thought Id be excited photographing nature, but I found myself completely entranced by the whole experience and I cant wait to do it again. ( 27 photos total)
