To tell my secrets of this photo would be to ruin the mystery, the illusion that I am in the deepest, darkest rain forest on the planet, stumbling upon ancient, undiscovered artifacts, experiencing this intimate moment between an old man monkey and myself.

Yes! Exactly! I held my camera in position so long my arm was shaking. The moment I clicked, he looked at me for a fraction of a second. It was patience, optimism, and luck.
