LIFE! always an inspiration.....

"To see life; to see the world; to eyewitness great events; to watch the faces of the poor and the gestures of the proud; to see strange things — machines, armies, multitudes, shadows in the jungle and on the moon; to see man's work — his paintings, towers and discoveries; to see things thousands of miles away, things hidden behind walls and within rooms, things dangerous to come to; the women men love and many children; to see and to take pleasure in seeing; to see and be amazed; to see and be instructed…. "
Henry Luce
Luce, (aka Father Time) wrote this to explain the objectives of LIFE Magazine, I always find it such a beautiful thing to read....
Luce was founder of Time Magazine, Fortune and of course LIFE, I think he gets the award for best Magazine names.....

  1. important to remember this publication indeed, and sometimes drift off in a wild fantasy world where magazines held the strength to commission moving images and telling stories...
