National Geographic Explorer and award-winning photographer Anand Varma combines science and storytelling to shed light on the seldom observed natural world. (He famously captured a parasite wiggling out of a cricketβs belly.) A biologist by education, heβs one of the more experimental photographers working in the field, sometimes embarking on projects that take four years to get the shot heβs after. His photos featured this week allow a peek into animal behaviors humans never get to see. |

While photographer Richard Hewitt Stewartβs glass-plate photos from National Geographicβs October 1931 issue give off a distinctly spooky vibe, the story actually challenged the clownβs bad rep. βThere is not half so much tragedy behind the funny make-ups of clowns as people like to believe,β wrote Francis Beverly Kelley in the feature. βAll in all, the clown's is a noble calling. The world is full of tears, and man by nature is a sorrowing creature. It requires infinitely more to send us into the gales of laughter than it does to make us cry. |
