1. The pictures were beautiful, they where like if you where actually there. 
What was your favorite photo? Describe it and tell me why its your favorite
The one with the Giraffe & tree , Is had a tall tree that seems so perfect , with a big tall Giraffe , seeing out into the area.
 
Look up the photographer –
a.     What kind of camera did he use? He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses
 
b.    What is his reason for taking the photos? he says : 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.
 
c.     What is his hope by taking these types of photos? Getting the animals spirt .
 
d.     Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog

One My Favorite !
