In the winter 2013 issue of American Bungalow magazine there is an article about a couple, Melissa Farlow and Randy Olson, both National Geographic photographers who live in a bungalow style home which they've furnished with artifacts and mementos from their travels. The first part of the article, which was written by Melissa, describes some of the situations and conditions they have endured while pursuing their career in photography. A very interesting article. I would post a link, but there isn't one. If anyone has an I-pad, the issue is available thru an app, otherwise it may still be available in the magazine section of the larger book sellers.

Love to see more of that house!

If the National Geographic Live series is anywhere near you, go check it out.

Amazing stories. The photography is amazing of course, but only a small part of the job.

How far are you from Kansas City?
The Kauffman Center is a fantastic venue.

That's a good 5 hour drive.

The National Geographic magazine is probably still using high speed rotogravure, so the pictures suffer from tear drop shaped dots. I haven't seen a copy in years, so I may be not up to date on their printing technology.

Your welcome! I'd hate to work in some of those conditions, I guess that's what make them professionals.
