When Google does something, the blogosphere takes note. This week Google announced that they are (it is?) making available all of the LIFE magazine photographs - not just the covers, mind you, but all of the photos - including ones that were never published in the magazine itself.
10 million photos.
The database is searchable here, or by adding "source:life" to any Google image search.
Like every other blogger, I'll be making use of these images from time to time, either as illustrations for stories that need one, or as stand-alone curiosities a la Shorpy.
The image above comes from a search for the term "recession." It's the cover for a 1992 issue of Time magazine. Bet you didn't even remember that there was a recession in 1992 - it sure didn't feel like the current one...
