Paul Nicklen, a contributing photographer for National Geographic, talks about his wild sea adventure with a giant leopard seal. His photographs tell a frightening story, but his memory of the events was rather peaceful and playful. [via]
This guy’s got one of the best jobs in the world!

I’ve posted a video before about how hot dogs were made, but it is nothing compared to this feature from National Geographic about making hot dogs.
I mean, just look at the “sludge” of meat that comes from those machines. It’s no wonder that National Geographic decided to call this video “Meat Smoothie”. Man, this is not making me want to eat a hot dog ever again.

How amazing is this photo of Brian Skerry’s underwater assistant, Mauricio Handler, in front of a giant whale off the coast of Auckland Islands? I can’t even imagine how awesome this must feel to be within arm’s reach of a giant underwater creature such as a whale and not have it be scared away by the camera.
Anyway, this photo above was the winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest in the category of “The Underwater World”.
Brian Skerry is a National Geographic photographer who has an impressive portfolio of images very similar to this, which really show his ability to get up close and personal with these sea animals that most of us have hardly seen in person even once. According to The Boston Globe, Brian Skerry is living his childhood dream of photographing for National Geographic. Heck, if this was my job, I’d be happy too!
