This article especially really hits home for me. My dream in life is to help protect and preserve the beautiful animals around the world that are threatened by our existence. If this is with photography so be it, if that is where life takes me then I will do it full heartedly. To see and learn about these beautiful animals that we take for granted everyday, and to know they are dying off because of us just makes me so mad. I want to do something to help, and I will find ways.
This is my favorite photo, because I love the sepia coloring and I love the way the dust is coming off the elephant. It just shows so much movement and action, even though it is still. When photographers can capture movement in a still picture, that is talent.
-A rule that is evident in it would be simplicity. There is no distracting objects taking away from the subject (the elephant). The elephant is against a plain sky and plain ground.
-Nick Brandt uses the Pentax 67II camera, various lenses and film. He photographs on medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses.
-His reason for taking these photos are in his words "What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of being—before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us."
-His hope for taking those photos is to show the world how beautiful and special these animals are to our world. He is amazing at taking such moving and emotional pictures of these animals in the wild. If we appreciate these animals in their pictures, why can't we appreciate them and help them stay. I think that is what his hope is. For us to do something about their existence.
-What he has to say about Africa is "There is something profoundly iconic, mythological even, about the animals of East and southern Africa. There is also something deeply, emotionally stirring and affecting about the plains of Africa—those vast, green rolling plains punctuated by graphically perfect acacia trees under the huge skies."
