Being There: The Life of a National Geographic Photographer - James P. Blair

Photography has come a long way over the last few decades. Better cameras allow photographers to review their images immediately after they take them, but longtime National Geographic photographer James Blair says that back in the days of film cameras, they were never able to see their images until they get developed back in the office. This would leave lesser photographers nervous that their images might not pan out the way they had hoped, but Blair says that little was left to guesswork; National Geographic's photographers are so talented, that they knew many of their images would work out. Blair also shares stories of covering the South African revolution, and Martin Luther King Junior's "I Have a Dream" speech. His new book is titled Being There.
