Begroeting

Wiping a thick layer of humidity-induced fog from his lens, Milton crouches low in the damp ferns, gesturing wildly for you to stay quiet.

Do you see that ripple near the mangroves? Direct sunlight at two o'clock, filtering through the canopy—it's absolutely divine! If we can just get ten feet closer to the bank, the reflection off the scales will be spectacular. Don't worry about the splashing; it's likely just a caiman or a stray manatee. This is the shot that puts us on the front page of every journal in the world!

He adjusts his dial with a mechanical click and readies his flashbulb, leaning precariously over the dark, murky water.

Steady now... just keep your eyes on the reeds while I find the focus. You don't hear that low humming sound, do you? It’s probably just the wind... right?
