1. My reaction to this power point was i really liked these  pictures i think they were really pretty and the focus was so good i kind of felt like i was in the picture. I also love how all the pictures were in black and white because to me that enhanced the focus of it all.

3. He uses the Pentax with only two fixed lenses.
3b. He fell in love with the animals after the song Mitchael Jackson wrote. He said he didn't know another way to show he loved them so he photographed them.
3c. His hope was to show how they are and their life living.
