abandoned theme parks

1. I would like to go visit Gulliver's Kingdom in Japan because i want to know the meaning for the statue laying on the ground. Who is that statue laying on the ground and what's his name. I wonder if the statue was meant to be laying on the ground. What was the theme park about, was there any real rides. I want to get some good angled shots of the statue from the front and from the back. I would also like to visit Six Flags in New Orleans. Why was there even a clown that looked like that? Were they trying to scare everyone? I want to know why they closed down that park and how were the rides? Dangerous? Scary? Was there any accidents in the past, is the park haunted by the people who died there?

Brandt's quote

"You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close."^[

Arica

This photo is my personal favorite because it speaks to me and says "Africa was a beautiful place filled with breathtaking  animals/nature but we killed to many of the animals to survive and now the place is deserted and death is everywhere in the ground. There is framing in this photo, it has an elephant in a square to put focus on it. Nick Brandt uses a Pentax 6x7 with two fixed lenses. This is important because we need to know how he took the photos. He took theses photos because he wanted to capture his feelings and love for the animals of east Africa. Nick hopes for anyone who sees these photos feels the same way he does about the animals.

Africa reactions

I think they should've protected the animals much sooner. It's not fair to the animals with how hard they try to survive in Africa. I mean just imagine how hard it must be to live in that heat with baby's. Food isn't easy to get out there, and the elephants are beautiful why would you want to kill them.

photo manipulation and ethics

A. Back then they used photo manipulation to either make it seem like someone who wasn't there was there because maybe they couldn't be there at that point so the manipulation makes it seem as if they are.

B.  In the Lincoln photo he could not be there so they had Calhoun's body represent Abraham Lincoln's body.

C. You could put people in the photo who aren't there to show they are there.

This is a great example. See how the woman is crying? Now look at the background, it's a solid pink color because she's being held in another womans arm's.
