Gregory Colbert: Ashes and Snow

Some amazing work by photographer Gregory Colbert.

For more than a decade, Gregory Colbert has traveled the world and collaborated with 40+ species to create “Ashes and Snow,” the ground-breaking exhibition of more than 100 photographs and three films (…) His remarkable sepia-toned images explore the relationship between people and animals, glimpsing a world in which humans live in profound harmony with the rest of the animal kingdom.

In the attached video from TED 2006 he shows 10 minutes from his films, and announces the Animal Copyright Foundation – aiming to collect royalties from use of wildlife in media, much as would be collected for human performers, writers, composers, etc.

His website contains more samples of his work and is an experience in itself.
