Dec 2, 2008 - I have a special love for these photos. It has always been a dream of mine to go on assignment just about anywhere for National Geographic. This is a dream I have held since I was 5.

Dec 2, 2008 - Good talk, though I actually really like the ad that plays at the end - although they're trying to sell me something, it's a commercial with perspective, and it wreaks of a romantic futurism that I like to see.
