I believe many have lost the ability to live in the moment.

What was your selection process for the images?

What are the main characteristics that strike you when you’ve observed elephants and whales?

An awareness, caring, and a gentleness that certainly arent signs of weakness.

How do you hope that your artistry can have an impact on these animals and our environment?

I’m sure there are a lot of incredible backstories behind these images.

Is there one, in particular, that you’d like to share?

This photograph is of one of the few truly huge female tuskers left on our planet.

She was the matriarch of her herd, a herd thats destiny was shaped by her decisions.

I am humbled by this huge, completely wild elephant’s acceptance and tolerance of me.

However, I am inspired by her courage, strength, and leadership.

What do you hope that people take away from the work?
