IAmA wildlife cameraman who has worked on Human Planet, Planet Earth and Life and worked with David Attenborough on 12 of his series
Wildlife cameraman GavinThurston did an IAmA on Reddit.
This is one of my favorite IAmAs to date!

Watch this. Yes, I know it’s 25 minutes long, but it’s worth watching.
It’s exceptionally strange for me to watch this because the entire time all I can think about is how similar we are — we’re all Koreans. They’re speaking the same language, eating the same foods. But then they start talking about Kim Jong-Il, referring to him as “Dear Leader” or talk about Juche, and I am again struck by the incredibly wide chasm between us. It’s shocking how much a country can divide in only 60 years.
Also I really recommend you guys read the memoir, The Aquariums of Pyong-Yang, which tells the story of a Kang Chol-Hwan and his imprisonment in the Yodok concentration camp in North Korea. And if you want to learn more about the human rights crisis in North Korea, I recommend you check out: Human Rights Watch, The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, and LiNK, an organization dedicated to bringing awareness to the North Korean crisis, and aids & protects North Korean refugees in the underground.

IT'S DECORATIVE GOURD SEASON, MOTHERFUCKERS.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I’m about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over it’s gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There’s a nip in the air and my house is full of mutant fucking squash.
