Africa
1) That article was inspiring and melancholy at the same time. Nick Brandt's photos demonstrate how powerful photography can be, and how photography can move people. His photos were incredible and impressive, and they tell important stories.

3) This is favorite photo by Nick Brandt. I like it because the two lions are showing two very opposite emotions. The mother lion seems distressed or worried about something. She may even just be tired. No matter what she's thinking about, she looks like she's feeling the opposite of what her cub is feeling. The cub looks extremely happy and content at this moment. The contrast of this photo causes it to be very pleasing to the eye and an interesting story.
4) A few rules of composition are evident in this photo. It follows the rule of thirds due to the placement of the mother's head. It also follows avoiding mergers and simplicity because the two lions and the rock are the only visible and clear subjects in the photo.
5) Nick Brandt uses 75mm, 105mm, 150mm and sometimes a 200mm lens. This is important because the lens allows him to get his narrow depth.
6) Brandt takes these photos to record how incredible these wild animals are before they're gone.
7) Brandt hopes his photos will inspire people to join the movement of stopping poachers in Africa and saving the overall ecosystem.
8) "From the outset, I had a vision in mind: I wanted to create an elegy, a likely last testament to an extraordinary, beautiful natural world and its denizens that is rapidly disappearing before our eyes. I wanted to show these animals as individual spirits, sentient creatures equally as worthy of life as us." Nick Brandt

9) Nick Brandt created a project called "Inherit the Dust". These photos are of wild animals in the middle of man-kind's mess.
10) Brandt built giant posters of his moving photos and planted them in Kenya. Originally the photos looked like they blended into the landscape, and eventually people settled on the land. This caused many interesting photos of wild animals in the middle of trash heaps or villages.
11) His powerful photos may influence or inspire people to help declining populations of endangered animals.
12) The images from "Inherit the Dust" made me feel somber or regretful. The photos show something wild and free caged in human kind's mess. There's a particular photo with a chimp poster that makes me feel lonely. The chimp is on the outskirts of town and there's only an old man around.
