What if photography is in my son’s blood? What if he gets to watch me and then he himself grows into a photographer 10 times as good as me?

National Geographic photographers are inspiring, but not just for their images. But for the ways in which they have overcome obstacles to their craft and have developed the gear we have today, especially for wildlife and nature photography.

I knew that if I was serious about truly building skill I needed to live with my camera. In my house today you’ll realize it is an almost constant fixture in our kitchen.

Creative spark is a funny thing. Sometimes it strikes hard and the vision of what you want to create is so clear it basically creates itself. But inspiration is a muscle, and like any other muscle, it needs to go through discipline in order to function at its highest potential.
