It is often easy to spot a great image. The album cover of the debut album of KINS immediately caught my attention. While I could not find much information on this particular photo, I wanted to cover it anyway as the photographer is pretty interesting.
The photo was taken by Karl Ammann, a wildlife photographer that went to Africa in the '80s. While he came to Africa to shoot the beauty of the country's wildlife, he has shifted his focus now to raising awareness for 'bushmeat', meat taken from (often protected/endangered) species which is sold as, probably expensive, food. This sudden shift of focus came about because of the difference he sees between the Africa he first came to and what it has become.
Karl was called a Hero of the Envorinment by Time Magazine in 2007, saying he "single-handedly raising awareness of the issue of bush meat".
Karl Ammann continues to raise awareness to the trade as he found "key eco-systems and species being destroyed, degraded overcommercialized and exploited".
