The Story behind the Shot:
Getting this picture wasn't as easy. Not because it was technically difficult, but because there were too many distractions. On the right side of our car, we had the CUTEST baby elephant who was playing with his sleeping older sister. She wanted to sleep so bad, and he wanted to play, and he just climbed on her body and face, creating so many amusing moments. On the left side of the car, we had this shy baby. He was much younger, but less of an actor compared to his competitor. He kept hiding behind his mom and only occasionally nursing. Naturally, 99% of the time I focused on the "comedian,” but eventually, I decided to give some of my attention to this little one, and he was kind enough to show himself for a second surrounded by the legs of the older elephants.
Quality Assurance:
Open Edition Giclee Prints are printed to the same high printing standards as Limited Edition. Each print has a wide paper border and is hand signed by me just beneath the image area. I check each one to ensure quality before it is sent to the buyer. All prints are printed to art gallery standards on high quality, acid-free papers with archival inks to ensure light fast durability. All sales are final.
