‘You know, they say an elephant never forgets. But what they don’t tell you is that you never forget an elephant.’ – Jack Corcoran
This is very true when looking at the entries for Africa’s Photographer of the Year. Elephants seem to have caught the hearts of many photographers traveling throughout Africa. Not only have these majestic giants posed beautifully for the camera, but they also sometimes have a little one skipping next to them, giving the shot that extra cuteness factor.
