National Geographic Magazine's current and now typical wide angle distortion and motion blurred editorial style of photography is epitomized once again in the June 1998 issue's story on Russia's Trans-Siberian Railroad. One shot depicts women brush-painting a passenger coach, while in another of the typically dark and grainy photos, travelers walk through the middle of a snow packed and frozen railroad yard under overhead wire. I like this magazine, and I am a NG Society member, but once again, this magazine's picture editor proves that the quality of the photo really does not matter (for NG), but surely the content of it does, (as well as the content of the accompanying manuscript). Rather increasingly journalistic of them for a magazine somehow known for its pictures. They do have the current editorial styles nailed though, even if it's not a pretty picture.
