The good folks at National Geographic Assignment (also known as NG Image Sales, their stock agency) have started a blog of their own, revealing Joel’s one of Joel’s not-so-secret culinary vices.  I have a stack of Ben & Jerry’s receipts in my filing cabinet to back it up.  The reckless abandon with which a working photographer can eat is a wonder to behold, either first-hand or while compiling receipts for expenses.   While on assisting Joel for an assignment in the Everglades, Joel introduced me to the sugary joy of Haagen-Dasz ice cream/brownie sandwiches — at nine in the morning, no less.  Ever since, I haven’t been able to walk by a freezer case without feeling the pull.

It’s been a busy spring here in the studio.  Joel had an article in the April issue of NGM, a photo on the cover of the May-June issue of Audubon, and speaking engagements all over the place.  He set out for another NG story on Friday with a Prius full of gear; I’m always amazed at how much that little car can hold.

Since it’s now nice and quiet in the studio, I was cleaning out my e-mail inbox and noticed that I hadn’t yet posted a link to this interview Joel did with NG weekend about endangered species.  Enjoy!
