“Joel Sartore is a photographer for the National Geographic. He will take 30,000 photos in a year to come up with three or four keeper photos. Sartore has also been working on a 20-year protect called The Photo Ark, taking studio-style photos of animals to document biodiversity and call attention to endangered species. ‘The goal is for people to look these species in the eye and get them to care while there’s still time,’ said Sartore, described as a modern-day Noah. He has photographed more than 2,650 species and he believes ‘for many of Earth’s creatures, time is running out. Half of the world’s plant and animal species will soon be threatened with extinction.’ Sartore believes he’ll have 5,000 to 6,000 photos of animals in The Photo Ark by the time he’s finished.” Inspirational “Charles Kuralt” Sunday Morning-like clip.
Good Sunday Morning.

I have less than zero talent in photography so I find all of this amazing. I guess what was lost on me is how many shots it takes to get just the right one. Excellence is effort and mastery. Happy Sunday to you too Mimi

Bangin’ on the ‘like’ button here, David, and hoping against hope that, as you suggest, it will eventually change to *love*. What an amazing clip and what an incredible talent! I, like you, had little idea that it took *that* many shots to find ‘the one.’ Incredible–thanks for sharing…
