I got started in photography kind of by accident. I was in a journalism program and got a camera
我开始接触摄影纯属偶然。当时我在读新闻学课程，得到了一台相机，
11.0s
and decided I'd take a class just to learn how to use the camera. And two weeks later I changed my major.
于是决定上一门课学学怎么使用相机。两周后，我就毅然改换了专业。
18.0s
My whole life I thought I'd be a writer. And there was something about being in that class,
我一辈子都以为自己会成为一名作家。但那堂课上的经历深深触动了我，
25.0s
going into a dark room, watching, you know, being in that kind of dark wonderful place,
走进暗房，在那样昏暗而美妙的地方，
30.0s
watching images come up, I realized that's what I wanted to do.
看着相片影像在药水中一点点浮现出来，我恍然大悟：这才是我想做的事。
38.0s
Our kids have traveled to every continent except Antarctica.
作为国家地理摄影师，我的工作就是走出去，观察这个世界，并将其生动呈现给他人。
43.0s
More importantly, when we travel they've lived in communities. We never stayed in hotels.
而我的独特之处在于，我专注于拍摄普通人。
49.0s
And so they were always in little communities where they were hanging out with kids
无论我去到哪里，我寻找的都是共同的人性。
53.0s
and sometimes they had language in common and many times they did not.
当我拍摄人像时，我尽量不去打扰或指挥对方。
57.0s
They've learned how to have fun the way those kids had fun. And they're very confident travelers.
我总是会花时间与他们坐在一起交流，倾听他们的心声。
64.0s
Our daughter, you know, she's 18 now and she has no problem hopping on a plane and going overseas.
当人们看到摄影师真正对他们充满尊重与兴趣时，他们就会向你敞开心扉。
71.0s
And it is not a stressful thing for her. She really is excited about it
这会在彼此之间建立起非常深刻的连接。
77.0s
and remembers all of our trips with enthusiasm and great memories.
我创办了一个名为“涟漪效应”的摄影组织，
84.0s
I think our kids also understand that people all over the world are different,
旨在赋能发展中国家正在改变社区的女性。
94.0s
that you don't assume that they are going to be the same as we are,
通过摄影镜头，我们能够帮助这些女性的声音被全世界听到。
100.0s
but that if you go into each culture open and look people in the eye and observe and listen,
一幅具有震撼力的摄影作品，胜过千言万语。
108.0s
you're going to make connections that are well beyond what most travelers get to see.
115.0s
And I think what I've learned from my kids is how delightful flexibility is
122.0s
and how naturally flexible most kids are as long as they've got the basics.
127.0s
You know, food and sleep and something to keep them entertained, they pretty much can set up camp anywhere.
140.0s
Almost everything's been photographed. And so the real challenge for a photographer
146.0s
is to bring her or his own unique vision to that subject matter.
152.0s
And in the case of the work that I do on assignment, it's primarily telling a story
159.0s
that is compelling enough, you know, the photograph is compelling enough
164.0s
to get people interested in reading the captions or what's going on.
168.0s
And hopefully that will lead them into a more in-depth written piece.
173.0s
It's a wonderful, terrible job because you get this opportunity to go out and do it,
181.0s
but then you're supposed to do it better than it's ever been done before.
188.0s
What traveling has taught me is that once you step into another culture
194.0s
and you allow yourself to really immerse yourself in another culture
198.0s
and be available to them, communication happens very quickly
204.0s
and it doesn't require perfect language skills.
208.0s
It doesn't require introductions.
211.0s
It's really something that happens when you are your honest self,
217.0s
when you recognize that you're a guest in another culture
220.0s
and that you really need to listen to people on a different level
224.0s
and abide by their way of doing things.
226.0s
That's the best part of travel for me.
229.0s
I think one of the most inspirational parts about photography
238.0s
is that you're never done.
240.0s
You're always growing and when you travel you're always learning.
244.0s
So to have a career where I get to be creative,
249.0s
I'm immersed in really interesting situations
253.0s
and I continue to grow artistically.
256.0s
What's better than that?
