7/60Image Name: The Thinker. Image Description: Observing chimpanzees in Kibale Forest was a challenge. They were high up in the trees or moving fast across the forest floor. Following them it was a matter of shooting fast when they sat down for a moment. This chimpanzee then took a pose which struck me as very human, showing just how closely related we are. The forest made for a cluttered background which shooting through foliage eliminated. Photographing through the green, this thinking pose of the chimpanzee made him look very human.

14/60Image Name: Freedom Photographer Name: Min Ly Year: 2018 Image Description: Kids collecting lily flowers daily for a livelihood is a common sight in Cambodia. I intended to take some photos of their activities during the harvest, from December to April. but I wasn’t fully satisfied with the result. I went back and took this photo in December as the weather was starting to get cold. This kid was enjoying himself helping his father to clean bunches of lily flowers. Their lives seem idyllic and carefree. The lilies in this photo are shaped like a bird and the smiling kid is the bird’s eye. It all looks so poetic but behind the veneer, his life is most difficult compared to other jobs. Going everyday into the cold water to collect lily flowers to sale them in the market at a bargain price is no holiday. The reason why I converted this photo to black and white is to suggest the darkness behind the scene and the kid’s hope to get a better life in the future.

When I turned around, fortunately there was not any bear, instead I saw a curious mule deer walking towards me who cheerfully chewed his supper. Soon after other deers joined him and we just stood there together for a while and watched each other. It was one of the most beautiful moments during my trip thru California.
