I'm speechless..hit all sizes, read the text, and make up your own mind if these two are really "father and son".

“Like a spider climbing up to the tip of a twig, 46-year-old John B. Dearing last week crawled up to the very top of the Empire State Building’s needlelike television tower, pointed a rare 180°-lens camera earthward, and made the spectacular photograph above. Dearing’s camera, which took in everything from horizon to horizon, covered a radius of 50 miles in this picture. One of Dearing’s legs. . . was wrapped around a conically shaped lightning rod 1,472 feet above the street. . .
“Dearing, an RCA engineer who helped supervise the installation of the 222-foot antenna system, made his picture for Anaconda Copper Mining Company, which supplied much of the metal for the television transmission lines. His trip up the spire was hair-raising in more ways than one. Static electricity around the tower sometimes pricks the skin and makes the hair stand on end. To touch one of the pronged dipoles of the antennas in the wrong place would give him a severe burn. A slip would mean death. But Dearing has been up the tower about 300 times and by now he is nonchalant about it. ‘It’s much more dangerous to be a mountain climber,’ he says. Sometimes, when he is up on the spire feeling on top of the world, he rocks himself back and forth, giddily swaying with the tip of the tower like a monkey on a tree branch.” [From the accompanying article]
this photograph ran in LIFE magazine in my high school days and was a game-changer for me; my beloved Nature could be quite cruel. it turns out to be something of a set-up, but that doesn't change its impact. he also photographed the black-power salute of the '68 olympics in mexico city, another game-changer. i read today that mr dominis passed away on 12/30/13 at the age of 92
I sit upskirt, I don't have much to lose

My boyfriend tested positive for COVID, it don't matter
We've been kissing, so whatever he has, I have, I can't cry...

Embracing Peace...
The original image of the moment was captured by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt on August 14, 1945...V-J Day (Victory over Japan)...It appeared on the cover of LIFE Magazine... J. Seward Johnson is the sculptor of this version sitting alongside the aircraft carrier USS Midway...
San Diego is a beautiful city that I need to return to...
Ace Motor Corporation was a motorcycle manufacturer in continuous operation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania between 1919 and 1924, and intermittently afterward until 1927. Essentially only one model of the large luxury four-cylinder motorcycle, with slight variations, was made from first to last. [Wikipedia]
The street scene in National Harbor, Maryland is reminiscent of the following photo taken by Eisenstaedt for Life Magazine:

The identities of the sailor and nurse have never been confirmed. However, George Mendonsa, a 22 year old Navy quartermaster at the time, and Greta Zimmerman, a 21 year old dental assistant, are believed to be in the photo, one of the most famous photos Life Magazine ever published.

"Not a pain... Not a stain"
The gentleman in the center appears to be a tourist who came to see The Bean for all the usual reasons. Instead, he found himself in the midst of a thousand people performing "Crowd Out" by David Lang. I'm not sure if he ever figured out what this was all about. It was,of course, a special occasion: normally it's the tourists who have the run of the place...

"Because... It's Sure to Rain!"
Life Magazine 1941-04-07
Specializing in rain-repellent outerwear the Ferguson Waterproof Company was incorporated before 1911, which later reorganized as the Alligator Oil Clothing Company in 1916.
From 1916 through 1918, the company’s manufacturing took place in a two-story factory at 1118 S. Grand. World War I provided impetus for major corporate expansion and construction of the National register-listed plant at 4153-71 Bingham Avenue, St. Louis, MO. The United States Army purchased some three million Alligator raincoats for soldiers, according to an Alligator advertisement. All of these coats were made in St. Louis, and led to the company’s decision to relocate to a large, modern facility with sufficient capacity for large demand. The company’s new facility led to boastful advertising touting its wartime production and the assertion that Alligator’s coats were the only union-made rain gear in the nation. The company’s ads appeared nationally into the 1940s. In 1943, expansion of the plant led to Alligator opening New York and Los Angeles branch offices. During World War II, Alligator enjoyed substantial success as both a military and civilian supplier.
In 1966, clothing giant BVD, Inc. acquired Alligator, continuing production at the Bingham Avenue plant until 1971. In 1971, BVD sold the factory complex to Multiplex, Inc., a manufacturer of beverage dispensing equipment and water treatment systems for the foodservice industry. Multiplex left the plant by the late 1990s, and the buildings have been vacant since then.

"Two delicious flavors that sparkle with pleasure"
Today's airbrushed style pinup photo features Rachel in this classic car themed pinup! Armed with her swimsuit and LIFE magazine, Rachel is ready to have a nice day at the beach! Of course, it's her trusty 1939 Ford Deluxe that will get her there! First introduced in 1938, the 'De Luxe Ford' was the middle man between their standard model cars and the higher end luxary models. The early 1938 models had a rounded hood which gave way in 1939 for the V-shaped grill with vertical bars. The 1940 model had a three part gill with horiztonal grill bars. The De Luxe series was actually a separate line of cars from the other brands Ford had at the time. In 1941 the De Luxe series was joined by the Super De Luxe series, however both of these were not used as separate line cars and became part of the Ford lineup.
