I have love National Geographic since my uncle -lrb- a teacher -rrb- thought be would make a good birthday gift when I be younger . he start I on a lifetime of find magazine like National Geographic . though I have other magazine , National Geographic remain my favorite and the standard of magazine . though it have change somewhat through the year , the one thing that always remain be the imagery . the photograph range from breathtaking , inspirational , educational and heartbreaking and be often more than that . the effort photographer undertake be incredible . -lrb- the special issue of 100 best photograph be amazing -rrb- and see the image in print be the best way to see these . though you may see the image on the web , they be not quite the same . dinosaur , space , astronomy , history and so much more . special and worth have as you will find yourself go back to revisit story and riveting image .
