National Geographic - Any subscribers here?

Just wondering if any who haunt here are subscribers to the National Geographic Magazine?

You see, one of my PC computer gaming magazines is coming up for renewal and I am considering a change of direction.

I was in the waiting room of my local Doctor and flicked through some copies, and I saw a notation that said digital subscribers get access to every article since 1888. Yes, 1888. I checked this to be sure and and was told, yes it is true :eek: That's a lot of reading. I'd go the digital and print option.

Asking any subscribers here to comment please. :arrow: PM if you like :)

I have a subscription to National Geographic. Being able to browse through their entire catalog is pretty awesome.

Checks PMs....

Thank you :up: I find their photography intriguing. Some of their shots are beautiful like that mid eastern girl years ago. What was the name; ah, here it is, Sharbat Gula. You must have seen the cover.

I have the original release of that. I found it in an old abandoned farm house :paranoid:

It would be worth money as a collectable I'd think.

True story time - I've worked with Steve McCurry who took that photo. I had to print around 30 large format prints for a show in Birmingham, almost had to fly out to New York to finalise some of them because he was incredibly picky about some of the smallest details. Even a 0.5 level shift for some of the smaller dark areas and inspecting ICCs i'd made for the job.
