"Since its debut in Venice in 2002, more than a million people have attended Ashes and Snow, an exhibition of more than 50 large-scale photographic artworks, a 60-minute feature film, and two 9-minute film haikus by Gregory Colbert."

"Gregory Colbert's photographic artworks capture extraordinary moments of contact between man and animal.

Gregory Colbert has spent thirteen years patiently filming and photographing elephants, whales, birds, and other animals in such places as India, Burma, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Namibia, Egypt, the island of Dominica, Tonga, and Antarctica. ashes and snow, Colbert's lifelong project, explores the nature of animals in their natural habitat as they interact with human beings. His images attempt to lift the natural and artificial barriers between humans and other species—to re-awaken in us an understanding of our shared animal nature."

Prelim-congrats miss 248, you embody the essence of the sift, tenacious, stylish, and wholly unsatisfied with the mundane in your quest for images worthy of the reposi-toh-ray!!.....stay alive forever!!!

this is lovely. some images are a bit hackneyed (if it reminds me of a hype williams video from the 90's... ummm...) and feel emotionally false and set up (the music itself is over-produced to the point that even the voice starts sounding like a synthesizer to me). but it is still lovely.

oh! I've been to Dominica ('the nature island') and it is incredible. Saw a sperm whale off of Dominica... amazing..

This reminds me of 300 movie trailer: http://300themovie.warnerbros.com/ ...
