A minor sensation: A video of an endangered gray woolly monkey named Prince William has stirred viewers on our Instagram account, getting nearly 7 million views in less than 24 hours. Photographer and Nat Geo Explorer Joel Sartore took the video at Brazil's Mantenedor da Fauna Silvestre Cariuá, writing: “High up in the treetops of cloud forests, these primates spend much of their day traveling in search of food, using their long, prehensile tails to bridge gaps between trees.” The video is part of Joel’s Photo Ark project of the world’s vulnerable species. See Prince William here.
In the line of fire: Photojournalists who covered protests in Portland, Oregon, following the death of George Floyd found themselves assaulted from all sides. “I hit the cement so hard with a helmet that my teeth hurt for a couple of days,” one photographer says. Why do they do this line of work? A new documentary, Between the Lines: Photojournalism in the Crossfire, features interviews with several photojournalists from Portland. See the trailer.
‘End of life shoots’: Photographer Julia Earhart has always loved animals. That’s why the Detroit photographer is offering free photo sessions for owners of pets that are at the end of life, People magazine reports. "There is a real connection and a lot of emotion that these animals can bring out in us. Witnessing that as a photographer? It fills me with a lot of joy,” she says.
Twitter’s new photo policy: The social media platform has updated its privacy policy, changing what users can and can’t share on the site. Images or videos of people, shared without their consent, will be taken down at their request. The policy on what can be posted is vague; Tatum Hunter answers some FAQs in the Washington Post.
One man’s trash: When Fabrice Monteiro returned to Senegal, the country of his birth, he was shocked to find plastic waste everywhere. So he shot a series to raise awareness of environmental concerns. One image, featured in the Guardian’s My Best Shot, shows what appears to be a spirit emerging from Mbeubeuss, a mountain of garbage. See the amazing photo.
