Photographer: Nina Leen
Size: 1036 x 1280 pixels (14.4 x 17.8 inches)

etc., etc. These are the nice humane experiment types I like.

I'm going to use the Flash Player in some cases, because the pictures from LIFE are generally stories and essays. It seems a shame to only post one Eisenstaedt, or Bourke-White, when there are beautiful stories where each image is crucial.
