Haunting photo with the contrast between the men in the pile of tusks and the man with the latte. Sad...

Wow.
This is illegal now, I hope? (Not latte. Tusks.)

Tourist. I wonder if any of those startling images affected him in any long-term way?

I was walking round the exhibition, trying to find the best contrast between image and viewer and he was such an easy target, especially with the four guys on the ivory pile looking at him.

Yes, it's illegal. This is a bunch of confiscated tusks recovered from poachers, about to be burned to stop them falling into the hands of the jewellers who feed such
obscenities to the eager rich.

Speedway: one can only hope it did.
