Africa and Mural Project preview

 My reaction to the power point was a really intrigued kind of reaction. It was the kind you get whenever you find a surprise waiting for when you get home after getting into trouble. I was amazed by the photo's that were presented.
 The reason it is my favorite photo from the power point is because it shows just how the strongest and most feared animal, can even be loving to its mate.
 The rule of photography that is evident in this photograph is, the rule of balance. The rule of balance describes the balance of something within a photo. Here in this photo of the lions touching heads, it is balanced because there is no other subject involved, nor is there any background interruptions. Therefore, it is a balanced photograph.

1.  He uses a Pentax 67II (with only two fixed lenses).
2. In 1995 that Brandt fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa.
3. To record a visually poetic last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are gone at the hands of man.
4. "What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist..." "To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera."
