Visions

. Yesterday was also the birthday of Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, Marquis of Dalí de Púbol –
more commonly known as
Salvador Dalí.

To be honest I've never been a huge fan (I'm probably just missing something) but I appreciate the opportunity to post these mesmerizing 1966 William Claxton photos of Dalí and Donyale Luna in Spain.

Dalí said he believed Luna was the reincarnation of Nefertiti.

This is Your Life

.
Oh good lord, yet another blow to my ability to stay on task: Google just launched a gigantic searchable archive of images from Life magazine. The collection includes roughly two million photographs spanning the 123 years that Life was published, from 1883–2006. Here are seven of my favorites:
