Reaction
In the presentation I thought the pictures where very moving and sweet. They each where different and each animal had it's own character, their own personality. I think the black and white made it look even more magnificent. 
My favorite picture from the slide show is the one with all the elephants together and the mother is standing over the baby. To me it's a beautiful photograph because it shows how the mother is protective of  her baby and how she cares for her baby.
 What kind of camera did he use?
He used a Pentax67II with only two fixed lenses.
  What is his reason for taking the photos?
The reason he takes these pictures is so people can see the beautiful animals before people extinct them.
What is his hope by taking these types of photos? 
 He wants people to see the animals in their state of being. How they naturally are instead of taking them out of their home and making them pose in ways that's not them.
