Africa and Mural Project preview

My reaction to seeing these amazing photos, was that I liked too the work of this photographer, who had the patience to take these photos so wonderful are actually very good.

I chose this as my favorite because since I saw made ​​me surprising, as seen the elephant, his shadow, clouds in the background and dust surrounding the elephant.

The rules of photography that are evident in this photo are simplicity because you can notice how the elephant is the main object, also balance rule is used, it can be noted in the shadow of the elephant and dust that are around him.
  
Nick Brandt 

What kind of camera did he use? Pentax 67ll with only two fixes lenses

What is his reason for taking the photos? while directing “Earth Song”, a music video for Jackson in Tanzania, in 1995 that Brandt fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa.

What is his hope by taking these types of photos?one of his goals being to record a visually poetic last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are gone at the hands of man. 

"I’ve always loved animals and as a film maker, I couldn’t find stories meant for adults about animals. Basically, just about every movie with animals is for kids.  And I’m not really interested in making a kid’s film although I love the fact that kids respond to my photos, because they are the future generation. And also, film making is completely frustrating and miserable; not when you’re filming, but when trying to get the money. You wait years and years and years, the best years of your life, the most creative years and the years you have the most energy, just not doing anything".


Part 2

1. What theme that we could take here at school could we do a series of these panels to place around the school? I think the issue that we should use at school to take those pictures is fun as interacting students anywhere in the school, can be just as it fun.

2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones? I guess it's okay to use both, but prefer to use cameras.

3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus?I think there must be several murals in different parts. would be fine some in AHA academy.
