“Amateur and professional photographers alike joined in an exciting series of events which took place on Ocracoke this week. A team of photojournalists from National Geographic visited our tiny island as part of the Beautiful Destinations series, and to promote and get people engaged in NatGeo’s online community Your Shot. Monica Corcoran, who has been visiting Ocracoke for 30 years, and Matt Adams, who celebrated his one-year anniversary with National Geographic this week, came down from the Washington, D.C. office along with freelance photographer David Y. Lee. Also joining in the photowalks was Oleg Litvinenko, a traveler and photographer based out of Washington, D.C., who is a Your Shot community member and was coincidentally on Ocracoke.”
