A Small World (I Mean REALLY Small)
I won't even pretend to be an expert in photo microscopy. Sure, I loved microscopes in science classes, and I've dabbled in semi-professional photography over the years but mainly rock concerts and stage shows.

So I was a little surprised when Nikon approached me to help judge their annual Small World competition. But I jumped at the chance.
