This was one of the last photos I took of Craig- one of Amboseli's biggest icons before he died earlier this year. He was impressive on every level, yet also one of the gentlest of giants. To be in his presence was a priviige.

This was one of the last photos I took of the Craig- one of Amboseli's biggest Icons. He was impressive on every level yet also one of the gentlest of giants. To be in his presence was a privilege
And yet, over five years despite many encounters with him, the images never quite came together. Often, Craig was swallowed by thick bush and when he did step into open ground, the light was often unforgiving, and the frame cluttered with distractions. The moments were powerful, but the photographs fell short of what he deserved.
Still, hope has a way of persisting. On my most recent visit to Amboseli we found him as before, deep in the undergrowth, methodically feeding, but my guide sensed a shift. Craig, he believed, was moving toward a small waterhole not far away. It would take patience. And readiness.
Nearly an hour passed. Then, finally, the moment arrived. Craig emerged, and for the first time everything aligned. After years of waiting, I made the image I had been searching for and one that hopefully acts as an elegy and tribute to this magnificent elephant.
