Last Wednesday, I took some photos of Jamie as she stood on the bench in front room 4 (aka the portrait studio). What came out of the photo session was a series of pictures where she had what looks like a pretty sarcastic smirk on her face.
One of the most intriguing things about chimpanzees is that they look so much like humans. It’s so easy to read too much into photos we see of the chimps and invent a complicated dialogue of what they must be thinking or feeling at the time. This is not to say that they don’t have complicated emotions, but each photo we take is just a quick snapshot of the moment. And the truth is, these photos just caught Jamie with a little bit of lunch leftover in her lips.
Whatever the explanation, she us a magnificent creature and you caught her beauty, intelligence and I think some attitude. Good job Anna.
I was going to say it looks as if she is nibbling on little piece of her carrot!! ; )
Jamie is beautiful, no matter what she is thinking. Just look at her — magnificent!
