So You Wanted to Be a Nature Photographer...

So You Wanted to Be a Nature Photographer...: "For your twelfth birthday your aunt got you a subscription to National Geographic magazine. It brought cultures, landscapes, and wildlife from far afield directly into your bedroom in full color and made you feel like you were right there exploring jungles, seeing exotic lizards run across water, and meeting even more exotic topless women from primitive tribes. In a time before the Internet you were amazed that these images could make their way across the world and into your hands and you were both grateful to and jealous of the people who were on the scene with nothing but a camera lens between them and the great bounty of nature."
