Africa: Black and White

I liked the powerpoint because it was very pleasing to the eye and brought color to itself through what it could tell, even though the pictures were black and white.

 1. This is my favorite picture because it seems as if the rhinoceros is walking on a lake or river rather than over a puddle.

2. I think that the most obvious rules are balance and simplicity because of the single subject and it's reflection upon the puddle.

The Photographer - Nick Brandt

a. He used a Pentax 6711 with only two fixed lenses.

b. On his page it states that "[O]ne of his goals being to record a last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are destroyed by the hands of man."

c. He wants to stop the destruction of and preserve the habitats of animals all around the world.

d. "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."
