National Geographic

國家地理(National Geographic)我最常接觸的就是18台頻道以及國家地理雜誌了。它所吸引我的不只真實鏡頭、自然之美、人文素養、偉大工程,更深入了我內心對社會更甚地球的澎湃崇尚。國家地理所揭露的議題,和我所關心的內容具有強烈呼應,因此我著實被它給吸引,而我也願意推薦給大家。

小學時代開始,就對社會科的地理有無比的興趣,喜歡鑽研地圖的我,對世界各國地形、氣候、人文、國旗、錢幣、首都、文字及語言等,竟會主動搜尋資料,並引以為樂。或許這是潛藏在我身體內multi-cultural的基因特別發達,進而拓展出我愛好藝文活動、旅遊。手邊一旦有地圖便會開始仔細研究,這樣的我是不是有種地圖控的跡象?

國家地理頻道與雜誌,不分國界走訪了無數地點,紀錄世界各地我們所不知道的一面,並將之呈現給社會大眾。影音文字內容取材自我們生活的環境,在瞭解別人的同時,也能拓展自己的視野。

其影片與照片拍攝的技巧更是為人所驚豔,特寫畫面或是全域性寫真,都有其說不出來的奧妙。只是有些血腥和殘忍,不符人道主義的照片還是一五一十展現在我眼前,雖然不經過加工,卻也忽略了讀者們可能潛在的恐懼心理,所造成的排斥感。雖說如此我還是誠心認為National Geographic不愧為清流。
