National Geographic
I'm sure you have this memory too ... being in 3rd grade and looking at the photos in National Geographic. Outside of family photos, these images are the first photographs I remember seeing and admiring. Today, I'm still amazed and inspired by the images, stories and integrity of National Geographic.
