Africa

Reaction: There are so many different animals that live in Africa and they have little resources such as water. the water is so scarce it doesn't even reach a rhinoceros's ankle.

My favorite picture was the one with the two zebras standing side by side in the desert. Its my favorite picture because they look like the would never leave each others side with the struggle for food because of the lack of precipitation in their habitat.

Nick Brandt uses a Pentax 67II. His reason for taking pictures is to canish the natural gander of east africa. His hope is to show animals in the state of being before they no longer exist. " In the Amboseli region of East Africa- an extraordinary 2 million acre ecosystem in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, straddling Kenya and Tanzania- this elephant was just one of the many elephants killed in the last few years by poachers. In fact, most of the large-tusked elephants that are featured in my books are now dead, killed by poachers for their ivory."
