Products of the Mega-beast (if you're Going to San Francisco, be sure to go along and listen)
Not often I get to write things like "cross the Golden Gate bridge and turn right" in these here pages, but right now, this is part of what I must urge you to do.
Recently, renowned (as opposed recently renowned) photographers Carol Stevenson and Avinash Pandey spent about ten days with the eles, the mahouts and a thing unofficially termed a Nikon Megabeast capable of turning out photos the size of football pitches and making all but the most modern supercomputer look like something Sir Clive Sinclair used to turn out.
These photos are destined for a number of projects, books, exhibitions and websites - the proceeds of all of this will be generously donated to help us look after our elephants.
The first part of the project, a talk by Carol, is about to take place at the Belvedere-Tiburon Library (I am reliably informed that you need to turn right just over the famous bridge) in California.
The text reads "Elephant Stories - Carol Stevenson highlights the conservation work and the challenges facing the Asian elephant following her recent visit to Thailand. The presentation includes images from a planned international exhibition series entitled Elephants and Mahouts that will benefit the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation - Thursday August 27th - 7:30pm - Founders Room, Belvedere-Tiburon Library".
The sharp eyed amongst you will recognise Pumpui and Deang Moo.

The Director of Elephants just couldn't understand why he couldn't command any respect the next morning ....
Your blog audience will never again be able to sigh in understanding when you complain about those tedious hours of administration!
