Since 1993, I have been documenting the behavior and lives of chimpanzees on film and video for the Jane Goodall Institute’s research center in Gombe National Park.

Preparing for the Shoot

Contributor: Anonymous

Kristin and I spent the past week packing and throwing together supplies for the next 2 months of shooting in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Our list seems endless: rubber boots, quick-drying field cloths, binocs, Kristin’s stills equipment, maps and field notepads, computers and hard drives, packs, energy bars, rain capes, loads of zip lock bags, air and water tight stuff bags, a few books, and most importantly, very good chocolate. In the time leading up to the first shoot, I felt that I was an indentured servant to my endless lists.
