He used all of the emerging photographic technologies but his technique came from an earlier era and he took painstaking efforts to set up every detail in a photograph so composition was perfect. When in July 1959 National Geographic decided to break its nearly century long policy of not having photographs on its cover, it was a patriotic image shot by Stewart that was chosen to launch its series of the world's most recognized magazine covers.Gordon Young served the U.S. Army in Korea, obtained a B.S. at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, then moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand to work for the U.S. Government.
