Meet James, the Baby Gorilla with his own Sense of Style

Giles Breton is an avid photographer who was lucky enough to accompany Andy Rouse, world renowned wildlife photographer, on a trip to Rwanda in February this year to see gorillas.

James with the wild tousled hair, was the star of the group who is among the last remaining 700 mountain gorillas in the world.

Check out Giles’ other outstanding photographs of mountain gorillas and his other sets on Flickr - well worth a visit.

Flickr Search Tool - Compfight

I recently discovered this fantastic search tool called compfight for flickr photos which is lightning fast and extremely useful if you want to browse for inspiration. You can choose to search only for Creative Commons images and if you hover over a photo with your cursor, it shows you the pixel dimensions of each image - wonderful. It’s important however, not to abuse the rights of the photographers and polite to acknowledge them and link to their flickr site.
