Ashes and Snow


Please take the time and check out the works of Gregory Colbert. The images in this exhibit are truly some of the most enchanting and soulful photographs I've ever seen. Colbert captures real interactions between people and animals in the wild. They were taken on location in places such as Burma, Tonga, Sri Lanka, India, Namibia and Kenya. Many of the images appear to be artificial or manipulated in some way. But according to various sources they are in fact real (though I am still a bit skeptical).

The one above might be my favorite. I've always felt a sense of peace at the sight of an elephant. Perhaps the stories of Ganesh that my Mother told me as a girl made an impression.

Hope you find one you connect with.
