I Love You by

This is me in Cameroon in December. I was looking after rescued primates for a little while. This is a beautiful little orphaned chimpanzee called Mayos. I had the privilege of playing with her and three other babies and eventually she fell asleep in my arms.

I want to thank Julie Langford for enhancing this picture by adding a black background and softening the image. I think she has done a stunning job in a very sensitive way. I find this image very moving.

Taken with Nikon D50

    I’m intrigued by your facial expression. Very tight lips and turned down. Almost a scowl. Is that significant body language for chimps?

  • mmm interesting question. I think I was in the middle of talking to her and was caught like this!
