			<description><![CDATA[Hey Jesse, I'm heading back on a plane now from Hawaii right now, but the advice I give everyone is not to wait - just start telling those stories with your camera right now. There really are so many stories to tell. I like to tell my own brand of story, but with you're experiences and your perspective, you'd have your own. Lets stay in touch. Send me an email at robnelsonfilms@ gmail.com. I'd like to chat more with you. - and go to UntamedScience.com to see what we're up to right now! I think you'd be very interested. :-) Rob]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello, Reading your story and learning how you came about in doing this as a career is truly an inspirational story. It sounds very close as to what I am working on, however I'm not nearly as far as you are. Ever since I was a little kid I have loved both learning and working with the environment, and photography. I am now a student in college, and just finished my generals. Now I am stuck, because I don't know what I need to major in to achieve my goal. I want to help show the world how beautiful life really is, and I want to inspire them to care for it just as I do. Watching wildlife documentations and reading things such as National Geographic are really what got me started as a kid. I really love to travel too. I have been to South America more than a few times, as well as Mexico. One of my goals has been to become bi-lingual, so last semester I applied at a University in Ecuador, got accepted, and several months later packed up my bags and took off. I returned in January, and am now getting things set up for school this fall semester. In the meantime, I have been working. I plan on starting the dive master program next month as well, I really love the ocean and being around water. I find it incredibly fascinating, and want to be able to possibly dive as part of a career in the future. I love teaching people about the world, not only with the environment but with culture as well. I love doing that with photography, to show people the beauty that lives all around them and in other parts of the world that they may not know much about. About two weeks ago I did a presentation on the 5 months that I spent living in Ecuador to the Community College that I attended for two years. I spoke of so many different things, and really did my best to try and excite my viewers about traveling, and the extreme diversity of Ecuador. In the time that I was there, I had explored a good amount of the coast, the Andes mountains as well as different parts of the Amazon. Everywhere that I went my camera came with me, even when I knew that it might have been a little risky to have..such as riding in a leaky wooden dugout canoe, traveling down one of the tributaries of the Amazon. I couldn't pass up the idea of missing out on a good picture, which I have learned over the years are usually not easy to get. You have to sometimes risk a few things, such as a getting your camera wet. I try my best to be prepared, but you never know what could happen. Sometimes you just get lucky. I don't know, there is just a lot that I want to accomplish in my life, I sometimes feel that it is unattainable but I know that there is a way. I just need to figure out how to get there. Thank you for posting your story, I really found it inspirational. If there is any advice that you could possibly give me, please feel free to email me. I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Jesse]]></description>
