Africa Project preview

This Africa powerpoint was amazing all the picture on in look so stunning. All the animals captured in the pictures were all well took. The poses of the animals were outstanding. Black and white gave the pictures or effect to the background.  

This picture is my favorite out of the rest. I like the way the elephant is posed. This dust ball looks like it hit the elephant straight in the face but the animal doesn't seem to care and just walking along. It looks so clear the way the dust goes across the elephant.

d. 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.
