Africa and Abandoned theme parks

AFRICA
1. My reaction to what I saw the photos was shock. He captured the true beauty of the animals and showed them in a way like nothing else.Each photo of the animals showed immensely moving emotion and clarity of the various animals.

2.
3. This photo shows self strength.The elephant is by itself but shows no sign of worry. To the right of the elephant is  dust, and the other side, clarity. I like the contrasting of the back round and i think it shows both optimism and pessimism within this one photo.

4. He used simplicity, because you can clearly see the subject is the elephant.

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 natural state.No media,nothing staged,just the animal doing its natural things.

7. He hopes he can make the world more aware with his photos,and the message behind them.
ABANDONED THEME PARKS

1.) I would have liked to visit Six Flags New Orleans. With a old diner in the park, and old wooden roller coasters, the park asa whole had a old time vibe to it that i find very intriguing. The buildings within the park are something i find interesting.Its as that within the park there is a small old town further progressing the old time feel i admire.

2.)

3.)
-Abandoned sky scrappers
-Old ghost towns
-Marfa Texas
-The streets of Paris,London,& NewYork City
-Old art exhibits

4.)Marfa Texas,

5.)I think it would be fun to document Marfa Texas because i like the aesthetic of the town. Marfa is a  small town in west Texas in the middle of nowhere, But what strikes me about it is that its so different from its surroundings. Its a small minimalist ,stripped town town on the outside ,but the buildings on the inside often hold art, and local crafts, which i think is an amazing way to keep the town amazing treasures hidden and kept to minimum in person viewing. I could pictures of the art in the town, the buildings, the infamous Prada store,the locals,the tourists,the glamping ,etc...

6.)To travel to Marfa and take pictures all i would need is a camera, money, and transportation.
