Africa

1. I was surprised that Nick could get so close to these wild animals. I was also surprised that Africa had all these diverse aniamls that he could get close to, like the cheetah. I also saw a big body of water in one of the photo and that also kind of surprised me.

3.This is my favorite picture by Nick Brandt because it shows the viewer how many elephants are being killed for their ivory.
4. Balance is most evident because the rangers and ivory are spread along the field and there is dry ground and cloudy sky.
5. He used a Pentax 67II with only 2 fixed lenses. this is important because he didn't use zoom lenses so he had to go right up to the big animals to take the pictures.
6. His reason of taking these photos is to raise awareness.
7. His hope is to possibly end poaching.
