national geographic

national geographic is an amazing magazine. i always read it when i am at my orthodontist's office and the articles are purely and always interesting. and the photos are beyond incredible. i wish i can sit in their camera closet one day and browse through all the lenses and bodies. jesus, i need a life. anyhow, so today, i was looking through national geographic's photographic book with their top portraits of people and places. and dear lord, i wanted to marry the book and the people in it. even one of the pictures made me cry. it was this boy from this village and there was this driver that passed through his farm and killed like half of his sheep. it was a huge loss of profit for his family. and the photographer actually took pictures of the little boy crying with his father in the background trying to gather what had happened. anyhow, i know my language is less than eloquent but my goodness, the photograph was so intense. and i felt like i was in the photograph, as though the emotions in the boy had suddenly overcame me. anyhow, i wished i can be such a photographer one day.
