The Ashes and Snow Santa Monica Exhibition Catalogue (2006, Flying Elephants Press, ISBN: 0976671581) is a beautifully crafted masterpiece that documents Canadian artist Gregory Colbert’s profound, lifelong photographic study of human-animal interaction. Featuring over 40 global expeditions since 1992, the book displays surreal sepia and umber images of people peacefully interacting with majestic creatures like elephants, whales, and cheetahs—all captured entirely in camera without any digital manipulation. True to Colbert's dedication to organic textures, this rare 232-page catalog is renowned for its premium artisan packaging, meticulously produced with an old-world aesthetic that traditionally includes Italian deckle-edge paper, a beeswax-sealed cover, and a distinct twine tie closure with a bamboo accent.
