Take only memories, leave nothing but footprints

I'm Monica. Twenty-two. Living in the Midwest.

I frequently reblog things that I find visually appealing, which usually includes mountains, landscapes, animals of all sorts and anything outdoorsy. I also reblog things I find amusing, funny and/or interesting. You'll never know what you'll find here ;].

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

James & Other Apes

While watching a nature program on primates I was struck by their facial similarity to our own. Humans are clearly different to animals, but the great apes inhabit that grey area between man and animal. I thought it would be interesting to try to photograph gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans using the aesthetic of the passport photograph- its ubiquitous style inferring the idea of identity.

I decided against photographing in zoos or using ‘animal actors’ but traveled to Cameroon, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo and Indonesia to meet orphans of the bush meat trade and live pet trade.
