For the last 40 years, Sam Abell has worked as a documentary photographer, primarily for National Geographic. In this video interview for the Atlantic (created by Alex Hoyt & Ross McDermott), Sam recounts his year-long quest to find the perfect image for a story.

There is an aerial image I have been trying to get for the better part of 4 years that I have yet to capture just how I want…someday soon I hope!
Thanks for being inspirational…
