Description
besides publicists and manager and agents ...i don't hang out with chimps that much.
kidding.
i got to spend a few hours with a couple chimps. i'm still amazed at how much they are like us.
odd.
watching this particular chimp stick his finger in andy dick's ear and then smelling it ...
odd.
he understood english.
the chimp.
andy, too.
i think, at least.
the "wrangler" as those people whom "handle" animal talent are called was probably one of the strangest people i've met.
the chimp seemed more sane.
in fact, i think he was.
"ranger rick," i swear that's what he called himself, got pissy when his charge was called a monkey.
whatever.
i know there's a difference.
what was cool -- if the story is true and in hollywood that's not usually the case -- was that this chimp was an "air force rescue." again, so they said.
he liked skittles.
and earrings.
odd.
anyway ... i made a pretty cool head shot and thought i'd share. he had some of the most caring eyes. i thought i caught his gaze in a pretty cool moment.

This is a very different photo for you. I dont think Ive seen other animals than your chihuahua in your gallery. And you dont ever do flat, closeup, head shots like this, even with homo sapien subjects. Very nice though, fun to see something out of character from you.

well ... variety is the spice of life.
that said ... i saw the hairs and the wrinkles and the depth of his face so i decided to crank the aperture up. i thought it gave some depth and didn't really make it flat, per se.
yeah ... chi chi was pissed. she was jealous.
girls.
