I guess I'm late to this but tuned into local PBS station this morning and they were showing "National Geographic's Top 10 Photos of 2010" .... The photos are great but better are the stories behind them... very inspiring

3. I find the FLDS women swimming photo very sad . . .

In light of recent news of Warren Jeffs and what he did to 12 year old girls, I find this photo very disturbing. Their total enslavement is shown in that they cannot even dress appropriately to be in water, yet they feel joy in even this smallest bit of "freedom". Very sad . . .

7. in the video

the photographer who did the photos of life in a single cubic foot gave the editor over -44,000! photos to work with... thank goodness for digital...

8. Taking a lot of pictures is a very good idea. The chances

of getting a good photo is better with 100, than with 10. I take 60 to 100 images when I go out.

I can imagine the editor having a tough time winnowing it down.
