Africa

1. My reaction to what I saw and read was almost indescribable. I was very moved by what he said and took pictures of. He really captured the essence of the animal.

3. This photo shows strength through devastation. To the right of the elephant is a whirlwind of dust, and the other side, clarity. I like this because it shows the true strength of African wild life.

4. He uses simplicity a lot because you can clearly see the subject is the elephant. He also uses avoiding mergers.

5. Nick used a Pentax 67ll, it is important so he can capture the clarity and emotion in each of his pictures.

6. His interest in taking these photos is capturing the animal in their state of being. He doesn't care about the drama of it, he just wants to see the animals in their natural habitat.

7. He hopes he can make the world more aware with his photos. He wants them to be recognized, not ignored.

8. "The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes."
