Africa

1. On your blog post your reactions to the power point
It was splendid, I was awestruck.

2. What was your favorite photo? Describe it and tell me why its your favorite
The Elephant with the dust being thrown at his face from the side.

3. Look up the photographer –
a.     What kind of camera did he use?
Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses .
b.     What is his reason for taking the photos?
He could not capture emotions properly in his pictures, for his love of animals.
c.     What is his hope by taking these types of photos?
That the animals personality will be properly captured in the photos.
d.     Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog
" First of all, it’s a last testament. At the same time, those animals are disappearing but that doesn’t mean that we should give up.  Like with global warming, anybody with a sense of intelligence knows that global warming is happening and it is getting worse.  But that doesn’t mean that we should just give up – we can do things.  In the same way, these animals are disappearing really fast and it’s going to get worse but we still have to do a certain amount of things. I’m recording this world as it is now and may never be again.  I also want people to help in any way they can and I’m just one part of whatever it may be.  It may be environmentalists, it may be photographers…  Each of us is trying to inform."

4. Find one of his photos that you really like and post it on your blog.
