A portrait of an orangutan
Photograph by Tim LamanPhotojournalist and scientist Tim Laman spends much of his time in the rain forests of Borneo, where he has gotten friendly with a number of amazing animal species. Among his favorites—the orangutan, a particularly intelligent primate known as the “old man of the woods.” In his lively presentation, Laman will share images of orangutans and other rainforest dwellers, and take you into the treetops where he climbs to make up-high, up-close observations. Laman is co-author, along with his wife, Cheryl Knott, of the National Geographic children’s book Face to Face With Orangutans.
Presented in conjunction with FotoWeek DC 2010.
