Gorilla Contact Sheet These shots were taken at a chimpanzee sanctuary I managed in 2001. We had just confiscated a baby gorilla from a hunter whose mother was killed for bush meat. We watched her for two days before she (Akiba Berry) was transferred to her current home – a gorilla sanctuary in the south of Cameroon. Reserved compared to the baby chimps, Akiba seemed content to sit in our laps, eat leaves, and of course – look cute and fuzzy. I recently started developing 75 rolls of film that sat for years in a cabinet collecting dust. The process has been an adventure. Like tiny little time capsules – each one is a surprise from my past. Initially, revisiting this process was laborious and tiring. But once I got into it, I lost track of time. A similar thing happens while editing on the computer, but I’ll always miss those late nights in the darkroom.
