Is this website a rip-off of the Amelie gnome?
A fair enough question. While the Monkey thoroughly enjoyed Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s 2001 sleeper hit Amelie, he was not inspired to photograph his travels by the gnome in the film. The Monkey has been traveling and being photographed since 1995, six years before Amelie’s theatrical release. Having said that, the Monkey is entirely in favor of gnomes getting out of the garden and enjoying their liberty as much as possible. For this reason, he supports the various gnome liberation fronts currently active in Europe.
