MY HOTEL ROOM AFTER I DISCOVERED IT HAD BEEN BURGLARIZED.

A clipping from a Montana newspaper about the theft of my equipment from Yellowstone Park. I was reluctant to call the Geographic to report the theft even though it was not my fault. As Gerd Ludwig said about the theft of all of his expense advance once, "Our job is to solve problems, not create them." When I did call the Geographic the response was immediate. They sent new cameras, lenses, film and a new photographer, Jonathan Blair, to "help me."
