Bwindi Baby, Uganda

This gorilla is the youngest in his group. The rangers in Bwindi call it the M Group, but to the baby the group is simply his group. He is clambering for half an hour, and when he sees me separated from my group, he quickly scrambles over the branches to get close and watch what I am doing. Whazzup? We have a one-sided conversation, with me doing the talking, as I shoot his breakfast portrait. He is looking at my feet, or my equipment, until I whisper "Hold it," when he looks right at the camera and poses.

    Hello anyone who visits:

    The text written above was mangled by an editor at Everywhere. Probably my fault since they asked for a two sentence bio about me in a congratulatory email about being published, but there was no notice of their intention to alter the text, which has basically been reduced to the level of a high school yearbook. And I'm not expecting reparation, I just want to communicate this little paraphrasing of Tennessee Williams, who once said: "You can fuck my wife and crash my car and shoot my dog, but you can not edit me." After seeing this, I understand Mr. Williams better than ever.
