When you look in the eye of an Elephant Posted Friday, 30 March 2007 at 17:00 Finished constituency and about to leave for Cambridge, however, wanted to share something with you before I went.
Have you ever looked at a photograph and found yourself staring at it for such a long time, as though your eyes are drinking in the image – and when that happens you suddenly realise, without even knowing it, that you were holding your breath?
Go to http://www.ashesandsnow.org/ click on explore. It is the site of an exhibition of photographs by Canadian traveller Gregory Colbert who has already shown in New York and is at present in Tokyo. I hope he comes to London.
Prepare to be amazed. My favourite - the girl reading to the Elephant. How do I know about it? My daughter has asked for one of the posters for her birthday. My prediction, we will all have these posters on our walls one day! Anonymous said: Responded: Saturday, 31 March 2007 Wow! Have you gone onto the video bit - are they superimposed or are they real?!! Will said: Responded: Saturday, 31 March 2007 I don't believe you have this on your site.I saw this exhibition two years ago when I was still a student. I was there all day, at one pointI found myself crying for no apparent reason.You will need deep pockets for a poster, they are about £3000 each.
