My friend Herve had this to say when he saw my shot of Richard.

‟He has a Faulknerian stance, with a sprinkle of twinkling old Mark twain…”

Richard is the world’s authority on the Asian Elephant. He has lived in Thailand for most of his life, and has spent much of that time running one of the country’s largest elephant camps, where 60 or so magnificent elephants live rich lives, sometimes into their 70’s.

It’s always a pleasure to chat with Richard and hear the stories of his impressive eyebrows.
