Odai-cho, Japan, one from Comfort Food, a series about food placed in domestic scenes.

I gave credence to the axiom that “pigeons are no more than rats with wings” until I talked my way up to the rooftop coops where breeders keep their treasure. As I photograph I've learned that their obsession reaches around the world and has created amazing new species.

Crush

Crush, January 2010. A baby elephant braces for a hit during a training session in a Karen village in Burma. The training session is coined the 'crush' as its goal is to break the elephant's spirit. Wild elephants are typically tied up and beaten for 3 days straight and left to starve. Burmese Karen mahouts near the Thai border operate a clandestine and illegal trade network smuggling elephants into Thailand to be sold to mahouts for the Thai tourism industry.
