Photographer’s Favorite
Judging the contest is Jim Richardson, an internationally-acclaimed photographer with National Geographic magazine. He developed his love of photography as a youngster by experimenting with his father’s second-hand box camera and taking pictures on his parents’ wheat and dairy farm in north central Kansas.
Now, more than 50 years later, he is a 25-year veteran of National Geographic and is known as one of its most productive contemporary photographers. Not only does he travel the world on behalf of National Geographic magazine, he also serves as a contributing editor for National Geographic TRAVELER magazine and provides photographs and the narrative essays that accompany them for that publication as well.
