Reaction to Africa

I really like what his passion is to take photos. He doesn't care so much about them being documented as great dramatic photos but rather the actual subject and state of being in the photo. He really takes in all is surroundings and focuses on what is there and not the camera. He likes to live in the moment and really cares about the beings he captures on camera.

This photo is of an adult elephant and a baby elephant. The baby elephant is on the ground. the adult elephant looks sad. This is my favorite photo because i really like elephants and the emotion in this Picture is so overwhelming. I like the body language of the elephants in the photo and the natural look on their faces. Simplicity is evident in this photo because there is nothing in the background other than the empty grey sky. The rule of lines is also evident in this photo because there are lines all over the elephants and lines horizons in the background.

 Nick uses pentax 67II with two fixed lens. He uses these lenses and not the telephoto because he wants to get close to them and understand their personality. He takes these pictures because he wants to capture the beauty of an animal before they are acting in the wild. His hope is that we humans will stop putting them in danger because he believes everybody has an equal right to live.
