The New York Times has TONS of photos. So they've decided to upload a bunch to a Tumblr site. It also has a bizarre name: The Lively Morgue. They are pretty random but kind of fun too. I found it through IBTImes. One thing is cool though is that you can see the photo AND the back of the photo. One thing is for sure, these photos would look great in a photobook.
Aug. 13, 1969: “Data processing cards joined ticker tape in paper blizzard,” read the caption on this photograph, which was published the day after the three Apollo 11 astronauts paraded through New York. The Sanitation Department cleaned up 300 tons of paper the following day. Mayor John V. Lindsay had urged employers to give their workers time to watch the motorcade. The city’s public events commissioner said the turnout was “the biggest ever in the history of New York.” Another article quoted an 8-year-old from Connecticut. “There’s a lot of confetti down there,” he said, “but I don’t see any astronauts.”This is the back of the above photo.
