AFRICA
- I think that Nick Brandt has some very good looking photos and his thoughts are interesting. I do think that capturing those photos are important however I don't think it is as urgent for some animals as is it others. I also think that if he is taking photos of the animals because 'man is going to ruin it' then learning a bout the animals spirit is unnecessary, but the photos do look cool with that mindset.
- This photo is my favorite because it follows rules of thirds and the background looks astonishing with the giraffe in front of it.
- The rules of composition in this photo are mainly rule of thirds and simplicity because you immediately know what the subject is.
- Nick Brandt does not use a telephoto lens, so he has to get close to the subject. This is important because it makes his photos dangerous and he has to be careful as to not get attacked or scare away the animals.
- Nick wants to take these photos because he wants to capture the animals before they are 'destroyed by man' and also wants to capture their 'spirits.'
- He hopes that these photos will make humans as a society not want to kill off or relocate these animals from there natural habitat because he wants these photos to show us they have as equal of a right to be there as we do to be here.
- "I had a vision in mind: I wanted to create an elegy, a likely lat testament to an extraordinary, beautiful natural world and its denizens that is rapidly disappearing before our eyes. I wanted to show these animals as individual spirits, sentient creatures equally as worthy of life as us." -Nick Brandt, PhotographyOffice
- Brandt's new focus of photography is to show people the beauty of the world before we ruined it, by setting up photos from his recent focus and setting up that photo in an area it looks like it fits.
- The process of making these photos was printing photos in California, shipping them to Kenya where they constructed/place the wooden/steel frame.
- I think this might make people notice what the area could have looked like before and not destroy areas as much as they do.
- These new images made me feel sad that these animals are no longer roaming as many areas as they should be.

- I think going to visit the Six Flags in New Orleans wold have good photo oppurtunities because I could get photos of the rusty rides that are in other locations. It would also be cool to shoot there because there have been movies shot in the Six Flags location and that would be cool to see the areas that were in the films. Six Flags is also an extremely well known amusement park and getting a look at an abandoned, creepy, rundown Six Flags would be really interesting, especially if compared to not rundown ones.
