Africa and mural project preview

I choose this picture because I like how the there's only one tree and the giraffe is in the shadow of the tree. One rule that is evident in this picture is simplicity because the background is only the skies with clouds and the tree and giraffe catch your attention right away.

a. What kind of camera did he use? Pentax 67ll
b. What is his reason for taking the photos? Because he wants to show the animals when there in there state of being rather then them in action or making it like a documentary.
c. What is his hope of taking these types of photos? To show the beauty of the animals and the nature surrounding them.
d. Find something he has to say about africa and post the quote? "The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes."
