Amazing classic photos

[Mr. P]

Life magazine has undergone many transformations in its long existence. It started out as a general interest magazine in the 1880s.

Then, in 1936, it found its niche in photojournalism. Today, Life is synonymous with stunning photographs.

Some of the most famous photographs of the past century have been featured in Life. And then there are the Life photos that haven't been seen.

There are a whopping 10 million photographs in Life's archive. Only about 3 percent have been seen by the public. Until now, that is!

Google plans to put Life's entire archive online for anyone to peruse.

War is a bitch, no matter how you look at it through a photographers eyes. Is "Glory" actually the hell that we all avoid?!?!???!?!?!?!?!?!?
