Africa

1. I really enjoyed the realism and detail of the images. They proved to show a large amount of depth. I especially like the soft glow the light seemed to have in each one.
This picture is my favorite of Nick's because it shows a strong message. When I view pictures I like to feel moved or conflicted in some way and his pictures do just that. In this image Nick uses avoiding mergers because the placement of the photo of the lions is in alignment with the background creating an illusion that the lions are in the picture along with the urbanized  surroundings.

5. There seems to be a little confusion surrounding Nick's lens and camera choice but many reports suggests he takes DOF portraits with his Pentax 67II. It's relevant inforamation because he takes pictures with a distinct fade and unique attention to detail

6. Nick explains in an interview, "I turned to photography in my mid-thirties, and launched into it with my Pentax 67 from the outset. Re inspiration, I have always been obsessed with black and white photography, especially the early work of Steichen."

7. Nick explains, "Photography was merely the best medium for me to express my feelings about animals, and the natural world."
