To add to my current state of euphoria: one of my favorite images from Zambia is now featured as a double page spread in the January 2009 edition of National Geographic magazine.:jump:

You can see the image and read about the background here.

Hope you like it!

I got this issue of the magazine just before Christmas. Your photograph is wonderful. You show a special moment in a special place all bathed in wonderful light. No wonder it graces two pages in The National Geographic. This is a hell of a shot, sir.
