You may have guessed that this Chuck Jones is not the Bugs Bunny guy. Nope, no relation, either.
This adventure of our Mr. Jones started out rationally enough as a location photo shoot of LeeAnn Rimes for client, Tommy Hilfiger, who was going to be introducing a jungle line of hiphop loin cloths for the Country Western market. But it took a bizare turn that resulted in the photos you see here.
According to Chuck's representative at Kellon Entertainment, Chuck fell out of the boat taking them up the Tapajios tributary of the Amazon River. Because Ms. Rimes at that time was beset by a hoard of very large misquitoes who must have been Country Western fans who couldn't get to FanFair, nobody noticed Chuck's disappearance until the bites healed and Ms. Rimes was ready to be shot, which was three days later.
Fortunately, when Chuck deboated, he had his camera bag and equipment around his neck.
After bravely fighting off a series of crocodiles who wanted to "get their pitcher took", Chuck made it to shore where he was found by a wanna-be actress-model (they are everywhere, by god!) of the WooWoo tribe who was rehearsing for a part in the "Survivor: South American Rain Forest".
Naturally, the WooWoo maiden also wanted to have her picture taken. And Chuck obliged until he ran out of film and stamina.
Chuck later used his strobe to signal a passing coca dealer who brought Chuck back to cililization where he could get transportation back to Tennessee which most New Yorkers would swear is still not civilization.
In case you are interested, the WooWoo wanna-be actress-model is still somewhere in the Rain Forest waiting to be discovered. LeeAnn's career has survived without a jungle cd. The marketing gurus at Tommy Hilfiger have not yet released their "jungle" line of leather jackets and loin cloths. And as far as we know, Chuck does not know we have let out the secret of this photographs.
Please do not to call Kellon Entertainment @ 615.822.5422 to verify the veracity of this story, unless you want to book Chuck to shoot the cover of your next "Jungle Cruise" cd.
