1. What I read and the pictures I saw were very inspiring. It fascinated me to see that these photographers could get so close to these animals and feel such a great connection. It is interesting to know that there are cool jobs like this one.

3. This picture is my favorite because I love how the photographer captured all of the dust in the air coming off the elephant. It is such an incredible image and it's truly inspiring.
4. The rule of simplicity is evident in this photo because the photographer focused on the elephant and there isn't anything in the background that distracts from it. Another rule displayed in this photo is lines because there are many different types of lines.
5. Nick Brandt uses a Pentax 6711with 2 fix lenses. He doesn't like to use telephoto lens because it generally frame the animal whereas he likes to capture the sky and landscape in the background as well.
6. Nick likes to take these photos because he is moved by the animals and wants to create unique photos that capture the animals in their state of being before the cease to exist.
7. By taking these photos he hopes to show the world how valuable these amazing animals are and that we need to protect them. The problems keep getting greater and greater. All of these problems are caused by us and are threatening these beautiful creatures.
8. "There is also something deeply, emotionally stirring and affecting about the plains of Africa—those vast, green rolling plains punctuated by graphically perfect acacia trees under the huge skies." - Nick Brandt
Abandoned Theme Parks
1. I would like to visit the Six Flags in New Orleans and shoot photos of the abandoned rides. I think this would be an interesting place to take pictures because everything looks worn out and old. I also like all of the creepy statues of jokers and people.
2. Favorite photo
3. There are other unusual places photographers might find interest in. For example:

5. I think that it would be fun to document photos near the port in Wallaroo, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia like the photo above. I like how these pictures look because they are so simple. The simplicity gives the photo an abandoned looking feel. I would take photos of inside the abandoned rail cars and also have the pictures if the landscape behind it like the photo.
6. It would take a lot of work to go and take photos at this location. As far as equipment goes, I would need a camera. For travel plans I would have to book a flight and find a hotel to stay in which brings me to expenses. It would cost a lot of money to buy a plane ticket, pay for my stay at a hotel, and rent a car. I would also have to take certain laws into consideration while taking photos at this spot because I can't just go onto someones property without permission.
