Africa Black and White.

I loved these pictures. They were so beautiful. I loved the majesty of it all, how he captured everything. He captured the animals' facial expressions to where it told a story. Every photograph just looked so amazing and you wanted to see more. You wanted to know what was going on when he took the picture, and what happened afterwards.

I think my favorite picture was the elephant standing in the middle of all the trees. The sun shining through the leaves. It seems like the only place the sun is shining is right were he is standing, and the tree's parted just for him.

The photographer uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses.

He takes such photographs because he wants to capture the animals' spirit before they are no more. He believes that man will one day overtake the East African country and the animals with it.

"What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist."
