A few months ago, director James Hanrahan and NPR host Neal Conan visited my studio in search of some photographs of life on the the Chesapeake Bay. I showed them my portfolio on the subject and sent them away with a few to use on their new project, if they wanted.
Their project was a media collaboration entitled “First Person: Stories from the Edge of the World.” With the music of Ensemble Galilei, Neal Conan and Lily Knight narrated stories that went along with photographs on a huge screen in the theater. The images used in the show were billed as the National Geographic Image Collection, of which I have not yet been included. However, I was honored to have three photos chosen for use in the performance.
In an excerpt from the WETA website:

…Their latest collaboration, “First Person: Stories from the Edge of the World,” was developed with NPR’s “Talk of the Nation” host Neal Conan and features Ensemble Galilei’s brilliant music, spectacular images from the National Geographic Image Collection and narrative of original texts from some of the world’s great explorers.
I did not receive mention in the credits, but, it was an honor to be included.
Keep shooting,
Mark
