I have always admired their talent and often ask if I can take a photo of them while they are working.  They usually are happy to have me do that.  We chat for a bit, then I offer to email them their photo which they are thrilled to get.  Some I have remained in contact with over the years.  Here are a few of them from this trip.  Not great portraits of them, but of them working in the environment of the park.
