This is the memoir of a journey from the hills of the Ozark Mountains to the Marble Halls of National Geographic's Washington, D.C. headquarters and the world beyond it. It takes place during the Golden Age of photojournalism just prior to the digital photography revolution. Growing up dreaming of becoming a “Life” magazine photographer, the author felt his way along an uncertain career path that would eventually take him to some of the most remote corners of the planet. From the moment he discovered photography through his years of working for the student and alumni publications of his high school, various colleges, and finally the University of Missouri Graduate School of Journalism, the author stubbornly followed his dream. His early professional experience involved photographing babies, weddings, horse shows and amateur baseball teams. While working on his BFA at Ohio University he was a stringer for both United Press International and the Associated Press. His early feature stories dealt with subjects ranging from the Ku Klux Klan, The American Nazi Party, and famous authors to the Serpent Handlers of West Virginia. His big break came with a summer internship as a photographer for “National Geographic.” Later he became a contract photographer for that publication and his assignments included chasing bleeding ice bergs with the International Ice Patrol, working as a still photographer on a “National Geographic” television special about the Amazon River, and doing a coverage of Libya and the Great Libyan Desert in North Africa. He traveled to 23 different countries in just three years. Come, travel along with the author on a dream-come-true adventure where real-life mini-adventures were the stuff of everyday life. See how a dream was turned into reality through hard work, perseverance and good luck.
