LIFE, America, a visual history

Unusual post and shameless promotion. LIFE has always been a mythical picture magazine for me and for several generation of photographers and photojournalists. After Time.inc closed the magazine in 2007, LIFE.com has been launched in march 2009. The site, a joint venture between Getty Images and Life magazine, offers millions of photographs from their combined collections. They also publish books and … I got a full page in the May issue. Now you would understand I couldn’t resist to put this on bulb. Life+full page+politics (a photo of a rally for Hillary Clinton during the last presidential campaign), this is the perfect equation for me.
About the book: LIFE America tells the story of our country’s extraordinary history in pictures, often contrasting the past and present’the then and now. Before there were the buildings, there was the land’and in the fi rst section LIFE ‘s editors travel the country exploring what was there before the coming of man. From the heights of Denali to the depths of the Grand Canyon, from the Virginia coast when it was the exclusive domain of Native Americans to the cave dwellings of the mysteriously lost Anasazi civilization in the western deserts, the land as it once was is reimagined. And then the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, the rise of the great cities, the issues’women’s rights, urban unrest, civil rights, child labor, the Great Depression’all are chronicled in the iconic photography of Jacob Riis, Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange, and LIFE ‘s own Margaret Bourke White, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Gordon Parks, and others. The magazine was there to chronicle much of America’s visual history’this book will highlight its storied archives, one of the world’s richest resources of great photography.
