Around the World as Professional Photographer

http://www.johnshawphoto.com/2012-2/

I was looking through different websites set up by professional nature photographers and I found John Shaw and I was just mesmerized by how well traveled he is from his job as a photographer. All of his pictures focus on the beauty of animals and landscapes in nature and each is so unique with all of the different photography techniques he used to capture the images. Please use the link above to see his 2012 gallery. There is a technique in his photos that captures the basis of the natural world in action and the photos really stood out to me. I think it would be amazing to have this job and travel the world capturing its beauty for a living. I look up to all professional photographers for being able to compete in the fast world of nature photography and I respect that they make a living doing something that they love to do, one of my greatest goals.
