Today's airbrushed style pinup photo features Christina enjoying the sun on her day off. With the temperatures blazing and not much really to do, Christina has decided to lounge around the deck of the Battleship and catch up on her LIFE Magazine reading that she's a bit behind on. Normally lots of sailors leave the ship to play in the city, but she's noticed for some reason they've all decided to stay onboard...

Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.

My personal favourite LIFE cover by Alfred "Eisie" Eisenstaedt.
Alfred Eisenstaedt (December 6, 1898-August 24, 1995).
Photo courtesy of LIFE magazine.
In 1935, a 37-year-old Alfred Eisenstaedt emigrated to the United States--narrowly escaping the Holocaust in Europe--and landed a job as one of the first staff photographers at LIFE magazine.
He would become one of the most important photographers in America--indeed, the father of photojournalism.
Eisie--as his friends called him--applied a simple credo to taking pictures: "It's more important to click with people than to click the shutter."
The links below will tell you a little more about the great man Eisenstaedt, and his love of Rolleiflex and Leica cameras;

From a 1940 issue of Life Magazine.
"Step into the circle of HAPPIER SMOKING!"
"Hot smoke bites the tongue"
What the hell kind of a nickname is 'Chubbins' for a girl you want to dance with?

Vintage August 21, 1950 issue of Life Magazine with Three Beautiful Bubble Bath Girls on the cover. Great looking hair as well. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
Colorful and patriotic ad for the United States Rubber Company showing off how classy their whitewall tires look on the battlefield. Send for the free booklet on "How To Save Rubber." Taken from the June 23, 1941 issue of Life Magazine.
"Royal Master owners believe in National Defense..."
"Once you ride on U.S. Royal Masters, you'll never buy any other tires."
Launch advertising for the lavish series of photography books from Time-Life Books. Trading on the reputation of LIFE magazine as the premier US publication for news and editorial photos, this series of books promised to be the definitive word on photography practice.
Bound in distinctive silver covers, and (in early press runs) using quality gravure photo reproduction, the core titles Light and Film and The Camera were highly influential in photography instruction. Part of their power in illustrating any concept was the ability to draw on LIFE's deep back-catalog of historical imagery to give inspiring examples. Evidently the series reached 17 volumes, although the books on general principles reached many more people than some of the niche topics.
New editions were in print into the 1980s, outliving LIFE magazine itself by a decade.

Ad for Pillsbury's Pancake Fluor - complete with cartoon-bubble speaking wheat, corn, rye and rice kernels - from the October 12, 1942 edition of LIfe Magazine.
Although the real Life cover for that date is quite different, this seems a great "What If" from the 2012-09-29 FHC Finale Fly Day. I'm sure the Granley Father-Son team & RCAF veterans flying these warbirds would concur.
Other faux magazine covers of mine - all aviation-centric!
