Africa

I absolutely LOVE these pictures. They capture the true beauty of nature and animals. I think they're GREAT and i would love to spend a day with him taking pictures and stuff.

I love all of them but if i had to say which one was in my top favorites it would be the one where there is like 10 giraffes in an open field and the sun is just shining through the clouds. It just a great picture taken. I really really like the way it came out , especially being put in black and white.



His photographs on medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses.
While directing "Earth Song" he fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa. Over the next few years, frustrated that he could not capture on film his feelings about and love for animals, he realized there was a way to achieve this through photography, in a way that he felt no-one had really done before. He wrote "You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close"
-He is "not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild. What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being."




 A favorite picture as well . I mean i really like all of them.
