Mad as a Marine Biologist

Conserving Africa’s Wildlife Through Photography Nick Brandt, a British music videographer turned photographer has focused his work on capturing animals in a state of being, rather than a single dramatic moment. His photographs of African wildlife and it’s decimation are hauntingly beautiful. His latest set of images include portraits of poachers, hauling their inventory of giant ivory tusks, as well as decomposing carcasses of wildlife, including those of flamingos, bats, giraffes, and varied beasts. [EDIT] This picture is of rangers, not poachers, with tusks of Elephants killed in 2011.
