Rwanda Mountain Gorillas

Rwanda Mountain Gorillas
Rwanda, 1994
I first photographed Mountain Gorillas in 1980. This photograph was made during the war in 1994. I finally figured out if I anticipated which way the family wanted to move I could go in advance and sit down and the mothers would walk by, carrying the babies on their backs. Sounds simple!
