For Your Viewing Pleasure

This is my favorite video . Go here for the complete experiance.



Gregory Colbert has used both still and movie cameras to explore extraordinary interactions between humans and animals. His exhibition, Ashes and Snow, consists of over 50 large-scale photographic artworks, a 60-minute film, and two 9-minute film haikus. The show will next open in Mexico City on December 15.

This excerpt is entitled Feather to Fire, and is narrated in three languages by Laurence Fishburne (English), Ken Watanabe (Japanese), and Enrique Rocha (Spanish).

More information about Gregory Colbert and Ashes and Snow is available at www.ashesandsnow.com.

Very affecting — especially so after what happened in San Francisco recently when a Siberian tiger escaped from its grotto at the zoo and killed a teenager.

Now I'd like to read up on Colbert to see how he does it. Thanks for this ...

Mel, i wouldve loved to have seen that.

My pleasure Narnie.

Kat, he has an animal preservation charity, where animals get royalties from all photos and films they are in....and from what i heard about that tiger, the teenagers were tesing it...but I could be wrong.
