Africa



This PowerPoint was really awesome and beautiful. I absolutely love animals especially lions. Words can't describe how amazingly beautiful those pictures are. 



This photo represents two lions showing their love to each other. This is my favorite photo because I love lions and think they are so wonderfully awesome and extremely beautiful. This photo, to me, has so much meaning to it.


The rules that are in this photo are value and contrast and space. Value is in this photo because it has black, white and grey. Contrast and space are in this photo because it shows distance between the lions and it uses extreme dark and light values.


What kind of camera did he use?
Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses

what is the reason to take the photos? 
He take these photos because he wants to record a last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are destroyed by the hand of man.

what is his hope for taking these photos?
 His hope for taking these photos is to retain an aura of mystery and the vitality of life.

     Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog

I'm not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild. What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us. To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera. The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes.
