The Pose
Omgomgomg. This is the one for me, y’all. I get the sense that this monkey doesn’t care about bad tweets or migraines or global interlocking crises or any of the other things that have had me stressed this week. I want to be this monkey.
This photo is called “The Pose,” and it’s by Danish photographer Mogens Trolle. It shows a young male proboscis monkey at a feeding station at Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary in Sabah, Borneo. His strange pale blue eyelids are giving him serious 1990s frosty eye makeup vibes and his chilled-out demeanor make it look like he’s meditating. In a statement, Trolle—who has been photographing primates for for five years—called him “the most laid-back character.” Strong agree.
