Local National Geographic winner

 
You may have never met local photographer Shawn Talbot but I guarantee that you have seen his work.
This summer his photograph of Cormorant fisherman was selected as the editors' pick by the National Geographic from a pool of over 12,000 images.
 
I recently sat down to interview Shawn at the Bean Scene coffee house to talk about the story behind his photographs.
