Africa

1. All of these pictures are stunning, they are perfect moments in time caught by a great photographer.
2. My favorite picture is the one with the lion and lioness nudging each other .

3. In the picture the mighty lion is showing his affection to a lioness or perhaps even a cub. It is my favorite picture because of the strong emotion captured.
4. A) Nick Brandt uses a Pentax 67II
    B) He takes these photos to show animal beauty and so people can see what they are helping kill with all of there poor choices.
    C) He hopes that people will see his pictures and want to change in a positive manner that will help the animals.
    D)"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."
