Caption Warm-up
Ian Loyd is sophomore at Akins High School, as seen here playing exciting games with his goat after school Wednesday. He has been in the after-school program, FFA, since he enrolled in high school his freshman year.
Some of the rules of composition that are present in this photo are leading lines and avoiding mergers. The leading lines are indicated by the fence in the background as it leads the focus directly to the boy and the goat. Avoiding mergers is not illustrated by how the boy's leg is merging with the goat. There is also a balance with the boy and the goat.
Depth- The stuff in the foreground middle ground and background are in focus, making it look 3-D.

Africa: black and white
1. When I was watching this I was just amazed how managed to capture these moments without being noticed. I was also amazed by how many different compositions Nick Brandt used.
2. My favorite photo was the one with the female lion and the male lion resting on each others foreheads. I like this picture because not only is it a very simple concept, it is also filled with a lot of emotion and shows the true relationship between the two lions.
3. a) He used a Pentax 67II film camera.
b) He wants to see the animals within the context of the environment.
c) To take photographs that transcend what has been a largely documentative genre.
d) There is perhaps something more profoundly iconic, mythical, mythological even, about the animals of East Africa, as opposed to say, the Arctic or South America.
