Thanks Merilee. Nat Geo photographer = dream job! Wouldn’t that be something, being paid to go to amazing locations around the world and take photographs.

Absolutely! It was my dream as a small child. But I’m afraid my photos are a little too weird for Nat Geo. I think it should be your aim! You’re very good.

Weird? Too artistic, maybe but I wouldn’t describe your pictures as too weird for Nat Geo. Thanks again for the compliment.
