This crazy haired little guy has won me a couple of photo competitions – most notably  the Times ‘citizen traveller’.

Just recently, he received another trophy to put on his monkey mantle when pictstop.co.uk (a great UK based photography store) named him the winner in their animal photography competition. Take a look here.

I was lucky enough to win the Vanguard Alta Pro 263AT Tripod with a GH100 Grip Head. It’s has been amazing on its outings so far and it has some great reviews.

On a side note, a recent bit of monkey photo news via petapixel.com. A creative chimp named Mikki recently earned a life time supply of banana money when he sold some pictures by (and of) him for a huge £50,000 at Sotheby’s auction house.
