My Second-Favorite Dream Job

My dream job for many years was to be a National Geographic travel photographer. Which to a young photographer is what being a pro-baller is to a high school varsity player.

As a high school kid, I would read up on my heroes, their experiences, and insights. I would learn from what they knew and shared. One day, reading Galen Rowell’s description of how he made Rainbow over the Potala Palace. I discovered what would be my second-favorite dream job.
