I always tend to forget that the Library of Congress photo archives are a great source of inspiration. Here’s the Majestic Theater located in San Antonio, TX.
You’re My Favourite: Some early photographic work on display now
May 22, 2009 @ 1:29 pm
If you’re interested in seeing some of the early developmental shots that eventually led to nurture my photographic eye today, head on over to You’re My Favourite where I’ve been posting some older photos from some of the earliest archives of photos I’ve been keeping. It’s interesting to see some visual motifs that I still live by in my photography today. If you like it, I encourage you to subscribe to You’re My Favourite so that you can receive fresh updates whenever I post something new. Thanks!
LIFE and Getty Images put their archives online for free
April 1, 2009 @ 1:50 am
LIFE and Getty Images have teamed up to bring you LIFE.com, a website where you can browse the LIFE archives and the Getty archives completely free.
Of course, “free” means that the images are low-res and generally small, but at least it’s better than seeing the image with a watermark right through the middle of it. If anything, I think LIFE.com would be a great one-stop resource for quick access to news photos from a major player in the business. I’ll see how useful this site actually is in the days to come, especially when compared to the readily available access of the LIFE archives on Google (which, might I add, are available in hi-res).
But for now, head on over to LIFE.com to check out the wealth of images available.
Historic Australian newspapers digitized
February 4, 2009 @ 10:31 am
The National Library of Australia has launched a beta page of historic Australian newspapers from 1803 to 1954 that you can view in full for free. The site is similar to The New York Times’ TimeMachine archive except of course that all of the newspapers here are from Australia. At the moment, there are 26 newspapers in digital form covering the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia.
It’s a good resource to bookmark if you’re doing any sort of historical study on Australia or if you just want to see what newspapers looked like in the old days.

I’m at work today going through old archives of various magazines. The advertisements that I’m coming across in these issues are golden. Can’t get enough of them!
