AFRICA AND ABANDONED THEME PARKS

AFRICA
1. What i saw while looking at Nick's pictures was a guy was devoted to getting amazing pictures of something he thought was amazing. These pictures are so incredible, you can see the lines and emotions on the animals faces, probably even guess what they're thinking. The closeness of the pictures is unreal, he was risking everything to make something of these animals to show the world what animals are like in their nature.

3. This picture is of a lion doing his mighty roar, to me the lion is hungry and it's yelling for hunger or maybe the lion is a parent and is roaring to let the kids know to come. It's my favorite because it seems to me it'd be very hard to catch a lion roaring and get it from that angle where you can see the whole mouth and the eyes being closed. I love the element the lion is in and that theres so many possibilities of why the lion is roaring.

4. A rule in this photo would be simplicity because of the lion up against a background thats not distracting from the lion. Another rule could be framed because the lion is being framed by the clouds.

5. He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses, it's important because you should know what camera to use when you want to get close up to your subject and capture everything you want to get in the picture. 

6. His reason for taking these photos is that he wanted to capture the Wild Animals in their element, or has he said "the state of being", His feeling while taking the picture is that he and the animal are equal and it affects him while snapping the picture. These pictures represent the beauty of the world while the world is being vanished. 

7. Nick hoped to have these animals be shown as beauty and make the world show that human and unhuman are equal. 

8. "the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa." -Nick Brandt
