The Inside Story from National Geographic Photographer Joel Sartore's Studio

Corndogs, cattle, and fried Coca-Cola

Joel’s photos accompany a story written by Garrison Keillor in the July issue of National Geographic Magazine.   Watch your mailbox for the issue, or view it online here.  Helping with research for the story last summer was definitely one of the more fun tasks I’ve been assigned, and probably the only time in my life I’ll have to quiz someone about the logistics of outhouse racing.

    I had the honor of meeting Joel last year at the Minnesota state fair and also being a recipient of one of his pictures from this issue! I own the Fair Do’s booth where the picture of the 2 young ladies with the colored hair was taken. He is an amazing person to visit with and his stories about his adventures kept my husband and I interested in hearing more. A very busy man he is. We are very proud to be a part of NG and proud to represent our state fair! Thank you Joel!
