Wilma

Recently my KARL class and I completed our final session for our 2012 year - a trek to Washington, DC.  One of the stops that we were fortunate to make while visiting was to the National Geographic.  Wow - talk about AMAZING!  Even if you are not a photographer, this place will captivate you.

I have always been fascinated with National Geographic.  The photos are spectacular, and the stories are indescribable.  Did you know that an issue is in the works for 2 1/2 to 3 years before you see it in print?  Unbelievable!  Plus, photographers and researchers that contribute to the editions reside all over the world.  As a matter of fact, Jim Richardson, one of the photographers, resides in Lindsborg, Kansas!

We simply could not take pictures of many items, due to the fact that many were part of future editions.  I did snap a photo of Wilma though.  She is a life size prehistoric rendition created specifically for an issue related to life during that time period.  Her face is pictured in this blog.  I think this was my favorite stop of our whole DC trip, and I simply could have listened to them talk about National Geographic all day!
