Kenya, 2025

am thrilled to introduce the first of my newest limited edition releases, ‘Memory and Thunder.’ Known by the Maasai as “Tembo,” the Elephant King, Craig was born in 1972 and is likely the largest living elephant in the world. Although I rarely apply treatments to my images beyond monochrome and color, recently I have been drawn to the emotional depth that warmer tones can create.

Before sepia became a vintage aesthetic, it was a novel darkroom process that converted silver into silver sulfide, giving prints longer life. The treatment produced a brownish tone, wrapping beloved faces and landscapes in the warm hues of memory. Today it is often associated with nostalgia, but in this case I chose to use sepia for its symbolic promise: that what we love, what we fight for, and what we hope to preserve, can outlast us all if we are willing to protect it.
