National Geographic: The Photographs

This is a history book.

It's about travelers from different backgrounds and fields using a common tool, a camera, to bring back what they saw, discovered, and wanted us to see. To tell their stories as they struggled to capture some of these wonderful images.

I am usually more interested in other subjects than underwater photography, but what Bill Curtsinger and David Doubilet captured made it my favorite part of the book. Magic.
