[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 198627, member: 1061"] Ditto what Jake said. I received that email as well, and it makes me sick, frankly. A lot of kids grow up wanting to be like Michael Jordan or Shaq. I grew up wanting to be an artist like Van Gogh. My mother has one of those memories books, where you record information each year on your child. In second grade, I wanted to be Han Solo when I grew up (LOL), but another year I wanted to grow up to be a photographer for National Geographic. That's not such a bad thing for a kid to aspire to is it? Get to travel the world and take photos of exotic places, people, and animals. I guess the point I'm trying to make here in my own rant is that my son will probably never get to have that same dream. NatGeo is just following suit and crowdsourcing their photos. [/QUOTE]
