Luscious images and a spiritual vibe from this excerpt of Gregory Colbert's Ashes and Snow, a project that has been making its way around the planet for the past few years but that I have only now discovered.
In a rare public appearance, photographer Gregory Colbert talks about the creation of his exhibit "Ashes and Snow." Colbert's work, which he calls "a 21st-century bestiary," captures the poetic beauty in our relationship to the animal kingdom. Colbert shows an 8-minute film, from the exhibit, of his epic swim with whales off the coast of the Azores. He then announces his new initiative, the Animal Copyright Foundation, which aims to collect royalties from companies using images of nature in their ad campaigns.
If you need a relaxing moment, don't miss it. The enhanced web site takes a bit to load, but it is quite nice. If you're in Tokyo, this is probably one of those shows not to be missed.
