National Geographic published the special assignment photographs made by Michael Nichols under the title of "The Last Place on Earth." I won't detail the mission except to say that it involved a trek through some of the most isolated and wild parts of Africa.

Nichols' photographic style for this project is 'different' to say the least. For example, many of his animal images are not fully in focus. They depict action and emotion in an unusual way. If you're familiar with this incredible book then you know what I'm trying to say. If not, you'll still get some idea of it from the images I've below.

My reason for posting these is simply to hear people's reactions to this style and engage in some relevant discussion. (click to enlarge)
