For four years the English photographer traveled the world, making close-up portraits of gorillas, chimps and orangutans. The result is one of the most detailed and revealing visual studies ever made of the great apes. "Face to Face...
...lacerated liver and kidney. Sections of the scar still keep opening up in a cascading "buttonhole" effect: one hole opens, then heals; then another opens. One has been left open now so that pus can flow out of her body. "It stinks really bad. It's hard to accept. Why me?" asks Frentz, her emotions fluctuating by the moment between anger and depression. "Some people are just happy to be alive," she says, after working out in the physical-therapy room at Brooke along with a soldier who is missing both legs and another with burns so bad his eyelids...
