The Photographers Part III

Remember the film "Gorillas in the Mist?" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095243/) Released in 1988, it told the story of Dian Fossey, a legendary scientist who went to Africa to study the vanishing Mountain Gorillas. The elusive creatures eventually came to accept Dian as almost one of their own. The cinematography was incredible; The highly intelligent gorillas would hide, using whatever landscape features were available, surreptitiously observing Dian as she studied their culture and habitat. The Great Silverbacks were always near, always taking in every view, every movement, and every action of Dian. Mountain Gorillas were gentle, very intelligent gathers. A very rare breed indeed.
