    I love those Penguin photos. Saw them on World Press Photo 2007 and was impressed back then.

    The elephant story is just so sad… what are we doing to this world?

    What is sad is the answer is no. I realized in the shower this morning that I desired it and wanted but never took any action on it.

    I guess now I will have to.

    the 4th screen! I guess that’s what they call it…awesome talk, enjoyed it very much! :)

  22. SynapseSnap says:

    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.

    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.
