These photographs are part of the Human Nature series.  They are photos of the animal displays at the Chicago’s Field Museum.

These photos attempt to capture the mystery and romance of this very pursuit—the sincerity of the scientific endeavor, the pathos of its visible failure, and the beauty of the attempt to engage with nature.
