Randy Olson

    Randy Olson is a famous photographer that has been all over the map. He often works with his wife Melissa Farlow, their jobs have taken them to over 50 countries in the past 20 years. They usually do individual work but for national geographic they work together. They have been in 29 issues of national geographic and have received many achievements and awards. They are also published in many other magazines and newspapers.
  
     In his achievements he has his own addition of national geographic in their Masters of Photography series. He was named Magazine Photographer of the year in 2003. He was named Newspaper Photographer of the year in 1992. He was also awarded a Alicia Patterson Fellowship to support his 17 year project on a family with AIDS.

     Africa photography really interests me so I will include some of his photography from National Geographic in Africa.
