[Leica] Re: National Geographic special

[lrzeitlin at optonline.net (Lawrence Zeitlin)]

I turned my TV on to my local PBS station and lucked into a wonderful  
National Geographic special about Joel Sartore. He is one of the  
magazine's premier nature photographer and works out of L:incoln,  
Nebraska. In addition to admiring his photographic eye, I learned  
that you don't have to live in New York to get choice assignments.  
You also need to wear a weightlifter's belt to avoid getting a hernia  
from carrying a camera bag stuffed with four foot long telephoto  
lenses. The show also describes the National Geographic approach to  
selecting photographs. Editors go through 5 to 6 rolls of exposures  
to select a single image. That's quite a selection ratio.

Try to catch this show. I'm sure it will be repeated.
