Elephant Man
Elephants are very intelligent animals with complex social structures. Who knows what was going on in that mind at the moment of this capture but I can't help but feel that he was posing for this shot as much as his human handler was.

About Artist
David Zlotky
My approach to photography springs from my years as a painter: experience that has forged my aesthetic as a visual storyteller. I’m not interested in the literal depiction of a moment in time as I would be if I were on an editorial assignment shooting for a news magazine. As a fine art photographer, I treat my images much like I would a painting. Digital tools have replaced my darkroom in which I spent many years, and pixels in my camera’s sensor have taken the place of grains of silver on film. I take great pride in the fact that my painting, “Picnic with the Travel Aire 1926”, has been acquired by the Smithsonian’s National Air & Space Museum for its esteemed collection. Another of my oil paintings, this one of Georgia Neese Clark, the first female U.S. Treasurer, is housed in the Truman Library. Two of my paintings are also part of the Air Force Art Collection, based in the Pentagon. My fine art photography has been selected for inclusion in multiple juried shows, most notably at the Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the MPLS Photography Center in Minneapolis. It also lives in numerous private collections and has been shown in commercial galleries in Kansas and Colorado.
