I remember sitting on the floor of our grammar school library, huddled up close to the shelves of National Geographic magazines.  I'd scan the sea of golden yellow and pull out the issues one-by-one to flip the pages and study the images in silence.  I rarely read a word.  It was the images that drew me in and made time stand still.

Just recently I discovered the rich presence of National Geographic online. And if you've ever dreamed a little dream about having your images published in this worthy publication, it just might come true... online and maybe even in print.  Check out the National Geographic Photography area and enter one of your images into their Daily Dozen contest each month. Photo editor Susan Welchman selects twelve new photos each day to be featured online, where visitors can vote for their favorite. The top voted image of the month is published in National Geographic. And if you're looking to get inside the head of a few experienced photo editors, be sure to check out their blog.
