Every time you take a good picture, regardless of your standing in the photographic world, you will have somebody say “This photo should be in National Geographic!” It is a common statement as in the West we regard National Geographic as the standard of excellence in photography. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I get an email that requested one of my photos to be used in a National Geographic book.
I happened sometime ago and I kept it quiet for the reason that I pretty much couldn’t believe the situation.
