Week 4 BOC: You Incredible


National Geographic is famous for their amazing photos, but few people know who is actually behind those photographs. I found this article and video about the men and women who shoot for National Geographic. The messages in this video are nothing short of AMAZING. The photographers say things like, "Good photography has the power to change your prospective on life." and "It's a universal language." The photographers get so emotional during the interviews too! It's really amazing to watch. I teared up a little. You have to really should watch it! I especially love the part at the end, when they say, "If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff."

I wish I could travel to every corner of the world and photograph everything I see, but that just isn't realistic for my life at this time. What I can do is explore the part of the world I live in. I feel like people in Las Vegas are so isolated, that they feel like they have to take a plane ride to get out. It's just not true. We have so many scenic areas around us, if we are willing to drive for a couple hours. These photos were taken at a place called Cathedral Gorge. There are over a thousand caves in the one little area! It was one of the most memorable camping trips of my life! Just a few hours from Las Vegas!
