I love hearing the stories of how people got the shots. Also I think I know someone related to one of the photographers, so that's cool.

This is a nice reminder that all photos are taken by individuals and who they are, where they are from, how it was captured, is all a part of the story of the image. I get lost in the content and forget the context.
