ON THIS EARTH

We were in Stockholm last weekend, and there we went to Fotografiska museet, the national photomuseum of Sweden. The headliner was Nick Brandt, a photographer taking pictures of animals in Africa. He deals with a scenario that soon they will have few chances to live due to environmental and sustainable changes in the world, where Africa is very much in the danger zone. Originally he's a filmmaker, but while recording the video of Michael Jacksons Earth Song in 1995 he fell in love with the animals and found his main goal in life: to photograph his love for them and spread that love all over the world. His way of capturing the daily life of the animals is amazing, and the pictures has so much story in them. He certainly manages to get a message through to his audience, and the impact these images had on me was huge.. Very inspiring in many ways.
