"Hit Me WithYour Best Shot!" Photography Assignment

This photo was found on National Geogrphapic's "Being Jane Goodall" page. This photo was taken by photographer Hugo Van Lawick in Tanzania in 1962. This was during Goodall's first documented trip to Tanzania.

This picture shows Jane Goodall grooming a chimpanzee. National Geographic explains that "Bananas gave Jane an edge. A steady supply lured chimps and enabled her to gain their trust."

This photo has a grainy quality about it that adds to the luster of being in the jungle with these creatures, although this has more to do with camera quality of the time than it does with form. This photo shares a raw, rare and intimate moment by being on the same level as Jane and the chip, showing us their bond.    



This photo was found on Condé Nast Traveler's website of 50 of the most beautiful destinations. This photograph was shot in Keukenhof Park in Holland. This photo was taken by a photographer with the last name Getty. 

The photograph is captioned with "Holland is known around the world for its rainbow-hued fields of tulips, especially those located in and around Keukenhof. Millions of bulbs are planted in the park each year—visit in mid-April to see the flowers during their peak season".

This photo makes use of the brightly colored tuplis and a crystal blue sky to show the great depth in detail a landscape like this holds. The angle the picture is taken shows the vastness of fields like these and the brightness shows the intensity of the flower's colors and its contrast to the surrounding landscape. 



This photo was one that I found on UNICEF's website. This photo's photographer was not listed but was shot while actress and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn was volunteering in Ethiopia in 1988.

This photo shows a side of Hepburn that many do not know. Here Hepburn is greeting girls at a UNICEF supported school while on her trip to help refugees. 

This photo captured a moment of such genuineness as these children meet Hepburn in the middle of their crumbling world. This photo captures Hepburn surrounded by these young girls, showing her natural friendliness and pure joy she gets when helping others. The wide shot of this photo conveys how much Hepburn was immersed and engaged with the people of Ethiopia.
