Tasty online treats: Life magazine photo archive


I'm a fan of the computer-enabled time-waster. You can learn something new, see something interesting, or procrastinate for an hour making your bid for desktop domination.

One relatively new source of online superbness is the opening of the Life magazine image archives. It's a joint venture with the Google, so you can search the archives for images, or just browse until you find something that you like. The best part is that the full-size images are available online. You cannot use them for commercial purposes, but fair-use rights allow you to re-post them for private use as long as you credit the source. I got this picture of some fans at the Clay-Bonavena fight from here. Picture was taken outside of Madison Square Garden in December, 1970 by Bill Ray. Photo (c) Time, Inc.

Enjoy.
