BOCK, BOCK, BOCK
quack, quack
Every boned a chicken or duck? Mmmhmm, it is like having National Geographic unfold in your kitchen. I think we’ve all become so accustomed to drumsticks from KFC that it is easy to forget that it is a critter you’re eating. De-bone poultry and you’ll never forget the origin of your food. Trust me. This next Call is all about the National Geographic of it all, literally…
Check out this Call for Entries from National Geographic Society for their Photo Contest 2012. The entry fee is a meager $15, and the winner for each of the 3 categories is $2500. And one grand prize winner will also get an additional $7500 and a great trip to D.C. for a photography seminar. Take a look…
