I think National Goegraphic is about bringing the world to your front door. Its about eticing adventure ariasing adrenaline. Nat Geo has always taken some of the most spectacular, and absolutely breathtaking photographs ever caught on camera. Most are relatively simplistic, with a clear cut focus: bring the pages to life. You have never been to africa? Open up the magazine, I'm sure you will have as much african spirit as you will find in any other place (obviousely excluding africa). I believe that nature is often overlooked. That it fades into the backgrounds of our busy lives and something that was held most sacred to our far ancestors has become a meer tool to our present lifestyles. And the phrase "stop to smell the roses" cannot get much more clear cut. Do it. Just stop. Smell them. They are full of rich fragrance, teasing your nostrils, watering your glands, a small jholy of sher extacy shocks your body. But only for a moment. Then its gone like a dove. So you whif again, and again. National Geographic reminds you exactly how fortunate we are to live here.
The picture i have shown here, is a perfect example of bliss, yet serenity. Alone. In the middle of the ocean. Not a sound but crashing waves on the boat hull, and a gleaming sky full of stars. Can life TRULY get much better then that?
I'm not thinking so.....
This, the photographs simply remind us, is why life is so beautiful. Why life is so complex, and so simplistic. I think what they do is empowering. Photographs hold a thousand words, as they say, and Net Geo's photo's seem to have a lot to talk about. I used to aspire to become a photographer for National Geographic, they always seem to find themselves in uncharted places, and in mysterious new worlds, far far away from city lights and newsvine clippings.
