the white chimp






I saw a great doc
on Jane Goodall at
the Sausalito Film Fest



I remember seeing Jane
speak when I was 15 or so.
She gave one of the most
inspiring lectures I've
heard in my life



without a doubt,
I think she is the most
influential woman
in the world


an advocate
for chimps and thus
an advocate of humanity




2 or 3 things
you might not know:


Jane's mother
left her provincial
life in Britain to journey
with her to africa and
live in the jungle.


for the 1950's,
it was pretty rare for two
women to do something like that
especially considering Jane was 23
and had no field experience.



the photos above were
taken by national geographic
photog Baron Hugo van Lawick
who was sent to Gombe to photograph
a young woman he heard was
living with the chimps.



they fell
in love.



I can see why.
look how beautiful
she was and still is.

i did not mean to
leave you hanging




you must assume
from my last post
that I'm on a very
long vacation


and you're
becoming a bit bitter
that I'm living such
a life of leisure



or maybe
not



but to clear the
rumors and afternoon
tea gossip, I am in fact
not in new york.


because
I am working
on a project



and I'm missing
2 or 3 terribly.


I promise
to get in a better
posting routine
this fall




ps:

you're summer
been good?


what's the
best thing you've
done? the best day?
