  • A participant in the "Keiki Rodeo" (Children's Rodeo) competes in the calf roping competition at Parker Ranch arena in Waimea, HI.  Many of the cowboy's children grow up roping and riding from a very young age.  "Kamehana was one year and one month old when she first rode a horse around the barrels.  I had to tie her down with a rope so she wouldn't fall off," says Wayne Tachera of his oldest daughter's early riding exposure.

  • Semara Garcia Gutierrez, 43, is currently serving a three year prison sentence in Matanzas but was photographed while on weekend leave visiting her mother in Old Havana. "I took the fall for a friend during a street knife fight," she explains. "Prison conditions aren't too bad.There are problems with food and water but everyone has their own bed and the guards are usually kind," she says. She is enrolled in a cooking course in the prison and dreams of one day sharing a home with her female partner and working as a chef.  "Homosexuality is not accepted here in Cuba but people are becoming more open," she says. "My mother and grandmother have always accepted me," she adds. Of Cuban women she says "we are strong, beautiful and able to face anything because we've gone through so much already."

  • After a wooden board suddenly fall away from the wall, volunteer, Kiki Goguen, of Brewster, MA, appears as a creepy doll who hands out candy at Chris Baker's haunted house in South Yarmouth, MA.

  • Female chimp, Medina, is photographed at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Lake Victoria, Uganda. Medina is a relatively tall chimp with a pink- brown face and little hair at the back of her palms; because of constantly sliding on the floor during play time. Medina is very creative and spends most of her time observing so she can learn from her environment. At arrival, her canine teeth had been removed and the front teeth smashed. She was malnourished with a big and hard stomach which was believed to have worms. However, she was treated and she has recovered steadily.<br />
Medina is a very calm, friendly and generous chimp. Among the four babies, she is the only chimp who enjoys the company of humans. At the moment is learning the use of tools like sticks to retrieve food that falls under the fence line.<br />
She is fond of clapping and swinging her hands when asking for food or anything of her interest and also complains when given less food. Whenever she sees anything from a point where she cannot reach, she will always clap while whimpering at any person nearby to get it for her.<br />
She plays a lot in water and rarely climbs trees. In the evening she prefers nesting on the floor than in the hammock. 03/15 Julia Cumes/IFAW

  • Wendy Mullin, 63, is photographed at her home in Centerville, MA. Wendy, who grew up on Nantucket, has the PALB2 gene mutation which gives her an 80% chance of getting breast cancer. She is currently undergoing treatment for invasive intraductal breast cancer and has had a double mastectomy as well lymph node removal and chemotherapy treatments. She still has a variety of treatments ahead of her. "One of the more freeing moments of my breast cancer journey was the day I had my head shaved," Wendy explains. "I felt empowered by taking this step as it was far less unnerving than observing my hair falling out each day," she adds. Wendy has always been a lover of plants, nature and the outdoors and tries to spend as much time as she can enjoying them. "I have found peace and serenity in caring for and being among my indoor and outdoor plants and garden," she adds.
