Primates

Monkeys are probably one of my favorite things to photograph.  They are so expressive and it is so clear when you look at them and their interactions that we are so closely related.  They have caring relationships, they fight, they have real emotions, they can make basic tools, and one even figured out how to unzip my dads bag on monkey island to steal a banana.  I always got so mad when people said President Bush looked so much like a monkey, what an insult to the monkeys.
