Photography is not about cameras, gadgets and gizmos. Photography is about photographers. A camera didn’t make a great picture any more than a typewriter wrote a great novel.

Imagine a chimpanzee, so like us in so many ways, reaching out to us across that chasm.
There is an unspoken question.
“Will you acknowledge me as ‘kin’?”
If you dare look into his eyes and take hold of his hand, he will look back toward the other animal beings and then back to you with a question,
“What about them? Don’t they matter too?”
Indeed, the great apes are like us in so many ways that they serve as ambassadors for all the wonderful animals with whom we share the planet."
