We ask our camera operators and sound recordists to do some very daring things. They are often the first to go down the tunnel, in the cave, or over the river. A huge thank you to the teams that make storytelling possible. Can you find the camera operator in the first pic?

I am grateful for many special moments in my memory bank, but finding myself alone at sunset, on a full moon and in the center of what is described as sacred primordial waters and axis mundi of the universe by the Lacandon Maya has to be one of the top. Magic is a feeling
