My spiky-haired monkey companion has made his way onto an album cover – In Situ, by Zindagi.

The band contacted me about a year back, asking if I they could use my photo on their upcoming album. An album cover seemed a perfect place for my red-faced friend and I accepted. A few months ago I received the album – hot off the press and signed by the band. See it below along with a big monkey print I won in the Times newspaper travel photo competition.

I would like to thank the band for choosing my image and sending me a few copies as keepsakes! Please check out Zindagi on their website, subscribe on Youtube or give them a Tweet.

A side note for photographers – the band found my photo on Flickr. If you get your work out there you never know what could happen!
