Description
PETER BEARD (b.1938 American) I'll Write Whenever I Can, Koobi Fora, Lake Rudolf, Kenya, 1965 According to The Peter Beard Studio, Beard is no longer printing this image. It was last printed in May 2004. While studying the population dynamics of the African crocodile -- a collaboration which led to the publication Eyelids of Morning (Chronicle, 1990) -- Beard and scientist Alistair Graham shot this 15 feet 4 inch crocodile at Koobi Fora (Lake Rudolph). While waiting for a plane to arrive the next day, Beard asked Graham to take a picture of him, writing in his 1966 diary, in the giant animal's mouth. Unluckily for Beard, the crocodile went into rigor mortis and twisted Beard's leg. Despite the incident, Beard successfully created this now beloved self-portrait.
