Description:

Here are a series of images of my town, Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent. I have created these images for a beautiful orangutan, who is a professional photographer, Nonja. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonja_(Austrian_orangutan)). Sadly, she is now locked up in the Vienna Zoo but thankfully, is being looked after rather well. She has lost her habitat and has nowhere else to live but being kept by others behind bars. She so reminds me of me but my bars are slightly different. For quite some time now, I have tracked her progress with the camera and I am using her "Point and Click" style of photography to present my own town/zoo....I am wanting to turn my images into a book and present my work to Nonja in Vienna for her critical analysis. This would require some kind of funding, firstly for the book and then for my visit to Austria.
