If there was one photography magazine that started it all, that was LIFE. It literally changed the way people saw the world in the early 20th Century.
Once a weekly-published magazine up until 1972, LIFE became victim of television and the economics of mass publication. Between 1978 and 2000, the magazine was published only monthly. Its archive languished over the years, but in 2006, some seven million of the images taken for the magazine have been digitized, taking us to the next chapter in LIFE.
In a partnership with Getty Images, LIFE.com launched back on March 31 and its the perfect resource for both historians and photographers. More importantly, the site should serve as an inspiration to the next generation of photographers. Its simple layout is easy to navigate, dividing up its categories into news, celebrity, travel, animals and sports. The amount of images is astounding.
