Elephantman WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PHOTO MANIPULATION!

I took this before there was a Photoshop, before there was a Mac, before (probably) there was YOU!

Always had my Leica M-3 with me in those days in Germany, and, with this shot, I got real lucky: could never, ever, EVER have lined the keeper up with the elephant now matter how much the elephant demanded it!

Not bad for an old man and a young elephant -- and the elephant probably remembers the scene and moment about as well as I do.

(In some ways, like you, I'd prefer to be an elephant: how EASY it would be to snork up other peoples' milkshakes across the table!)I took this before there was a Photoshop, before there was a Mac, before (probably) there was YOU!
