Frank Hurley washing cinematograph film on the "Aurora"

    Amazing to think that with such cold waters the film didn't retriculate.
  • Oliver Hammond said:
    Frank Hurley was probably the luckiest photographer who ever lived. On the Endurance expedition, he dove into the Antarctic waters to retrieve his glass-plate negatives from the slowly sinking ship, then survived the months-long trek and wait for rescue. He had to leave behind most of his exposed plates because they were too heavy to carry, so he buried them in the ice and snow. Years later, he returned to Antarctica and retrieved them--and all of his photos survived.

    I am pleased he was so lucky - his photographs are wonderful. His work from Antarctica and New Guniea is inspriational.

Getting Johnny ready to go to school again (LOC)

    I love the 'again' in the title. That, for me, tells a story about the relationship here. Johnny always grubby, indulgent mother and resigned brother. A daily ritual illuminated.

Cooling his head - N.Y. on hot day (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Rik Panganiban said:
    I love how its a hot day, and yet these kids are still wearing hats and suit jackets.
  • Frederick said:
    If cities would put these "public fountains" back on the streets we could get rid of plastic water bottles that fill our streets, rivers and oceans! Hot days in Wash. DC could sure use some public fountains to soak a head in!

    The photo was taken on July 7, 1911, during a six-day heat wave that killed 146 in New York City; 600 horses also died. Story in The New York Times, July 8, 1911: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9505E...
