An oldie from featuring Beth, a tribute to the fighter pilots of WW2 and LIFE Magazine. LIFE covered the entire war, along with other publications like TIME, YANK, etc. LIFE, however, captured some of the most quintessential iconic photos of the war courtesy of photographers such as Robert Capa and Alfred Eisenstaedt. LIFE magazines are pretty easy to find today from WW2 at local antique stores and flea markets. Worth the purchase just for the advertisements alone!

This statue by J. Seward Johnson is a recreation of the famous Life magazine photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt from the end of WWII. It's near the U.S.S. Midway museum in San Diego, CA. The name of the statue is "Unconditional Surrender."
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.
One of the most famous photographs ever published by Life Magazine, “V"J day in Times Square” was shot in Times Square on August 14, 1945 by Alfred Eisenstaedt who was in the square taking candid’s when he spotted a sailor "running along the street grabbing any and every girl in sight. Then suddenly he saw something white being grabbed. Eisenstaedt turned around and clicked the moment the sailor kissed the nurse.
The 26' tall statue is in Sarasota, Florida.

These scans come from my rather large magazine collection. Instead of filling my house with old moldy magazines, I scanned them (in most cases, photographed them) and filled a storage area with moldy magazines. Now they reside on an external harddrive. I thought others might appreciate these tidbits of forgotten history.
Please feel free to leave any comments or thoughts or impressions... Thanks in advance!
As I worked on my Gallery piece entitled: "Hair of Wool", now let me enlighten those who are easily offended by (my personal opinion) of what Christ actually looked like given his geographical location as well as the 40 Days he spent in the wilderness. You cannot survive any wilderness without a comb, toothbrush, razor, soap, and washcloth without coming out of there a little funky and with your hair Dreaded. It just ain't gonna happen like that. So, whether or not YOU choose to believe (my own) rendition of the Lord and Savior the FACT remains that he did NOT come out of the wilderness after 40 Days with straight, flawless hair and pearly whites.
This piece now hangs at CentralGallery; which is far better than it (hanging) from a cross... (peace)... *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE
Norman Rockwell created many ads for the Orange Crush Company that year. The ads were published in magazines such as “Collier's,” “The Literary Digest,” “The Youth's Companion,” and “Life.” He was 27 at the time.
In his autobiography, “My Adventures as an Illustrator” published in 1960, Rockwell wrote about how he was so deeply immersed in the Orange Crush illustrations that he began to visualize the bottles in his sleep. He described a vivid dream where “long lines” of Orange Crush bottles, both quart and regular size, were “marching down on me” with their labels clearly visible. This anecdote, along with the numerous Orange Crush ads he created, twelve in all, indicates a strong connection and perhaps a genuine liking for the soda and the brand.
[Note: In 1959, after his wife Mary died suddenly from a heart attack, Rockwell took time off from his work to grieve. It was during that break that he and his son Thomas produced Rockwell's autobiography, “My Adventures as an Illustrator.”]

During the 1920s, his colorful portrayals of flippant "flapper" girls and jaunty "Joe College" boys appeared in such magazines as Judge, The New Yorker, College Humor, Harper's Bazaar. His designs, such as this magazine cover depicting a coolly coquettish girl and a gawky, grinning guy, helped delineate a carefree, confident image of American society. Held also wrote and illustrated numerous books, designed costumes and sets for musical reviews, and created comic strips including Oh! Margy (later Merely Margy), Joe Prep, and Rah Rah Rosalie. Examples of his graphic work form part of the Library's Cabinet of American Illustration, a national collection of original drawings by generations of leading artists, illustrators, and cartoonists.

Our very first Cast Members photo, taken before the park opened to the public, was the Life Magazxine cover photo for the week of Oct 15, 1971. The scan of the original photo is elsewhere here on the page. Wish I had known that this made the Life cover, I just happened to find this image while surfing the Life archives.

Everything but the photo is from the actual June 12, 1944 Life Magazine. I'm sure you agree the photo makes you think the Norden Bombsight is about to be trained on the bridge in the photo. Gets my pulse racing... so much I've also created some more mag covers.
