I saw this program (in HD! ;-) - it is excellent. It gives a very good
idea of what it really means to be a NG photographer, and most
of the time, how difficult and lacking in "glamour" it is. This show
is an excellent portrayal of JS and what drives him to do work he
often doesn't like and to solve uncomfortable and difficult problems
to get his pictures. It is very honest and thorough in its coverage,
and it is not a "puff" vanity or publicity piece. See it if you can - I
highly recommend it.

Sadly, our two local PBS stations don't carry it.
I even searched the National Geographic network on my dish.  Not
showing there either.

Ah, too bad. Maybe it will eventually appear on "NG on demand" on digital
cable, though being a PBS-network program, that seems unlikely. PBS
does often delay-broadcast programs (the one on the the NG photographer,
"At Close Range With National Geographic", appeared here a couple
of weeks ago, and is not scheduled to appear again here tomorrow or in
the near feature - I just did a search on www.titantv.com for it). It may be
worth buying the DVD from PBS, if they offer it...

If the DVD is issued the local public library should have/be able
to get it.

This show was originally aired in HD on 2007.02.05.  The torrent for that
show is posted on MiniMova at: http://www.mininova.org/tor/578461.

It was played on Fox cable in Australia (Nat Geo channel) about a
month ago. Fascinating stuff, 'must see' for any photographer.

I extremely doubt it was his reader that caused the problem--most likely it
was his service.  If it was we'd see this kind of problem all the time,
'cause most of us are using OE.
I'm quite web-savy (five years running the MI dept. of ag's website, not to
mention another 10 designing on the side), I have tried many different news
readers, and have never found a need for anything other than OE or Netscape
Messenger for text based newsgroups.

They did a Yellowstone nature photography show a while back.
I notice those pivoting camera mounts are being used more and more for
wildlife.  This kind of arrangement (curved camera holder on a tripod
that allows fast up down and side to side movement) has been around
for ages for things like small telescopes.  I wonder why it took till
now to become popular in photography, particularly telephotography?
Last show I went to, Nikon had a bank of them fixed up with cameras
and telephotos.

Are you sure that is not a timeslice set up?
