2. Do a google image search for Nick Brandt, find your favorite photo and post it on your blog.
3. Describe it and tell me why its your favorite.
This is my favorite photo because it is very clear and an overall perfect photo. Elephants are also my favorite animal so that makes this stand out a lot more for me.
4. What rules of photography are evident in the photos you selected, be sure to explain the rule to me?
A rule of photography shown in this photo is simplicity. You can see there is not much in the background of the photo making it easier to see what the main focus of the photo is. Another rule of photography shown in this photo is no mergers. The photographer made sure that the whole elephant was in the photo so that you could see every part of the elephant. If he had cut off part of the elephant in the picture this photo wouldn't look as clean.

He uses a Pentax 67ll with two fixed lenses. He also photographed on medium-format black and white film, this was important because it made the photos black and white.

He wants people to see how amazing these animals are before they are gone. I think he is trying to say he thinks these animals are going to go extinct soon.

He hopes people will appreciate these animals before they are gone because he believes that when people in Africa go hungry they will have no choice but to kill and eat these animals.
8. Find something he has to say about Africa, and post the quote on your blog.
" When people in Africa are poor and starving and there are no crops left to eat due to the deforestation and global warming leading to ever-worsening droughts, they cannot be blamed if they kill the last zebra walking through the bush for their family to eat. "
