“The right place, at the right time, most of the time.”

Greg’s talk is a poignant distillation of the serendipity he has been blessed with while pursuing his passion for photography. From the banks of the Ganges river, through personal tragedy, and ultimately onto the pages of National Geographic, Greg’s willingness to share his story is, in and of itself, serendipitous.
