December 19th, 2009thiebes, posting in oto_community @ 01:59 am: Newly published photos of Crowley
 "Search millions of photographs from the LIFE photo archive, stretching from the 1750s to today. Most were never published and are now available for the first time through the joint work of LIFE and Google." So of course I tried a search for Aleister: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&sa=1&q=aleister+source%3AlifeI'm not sure if any or all of these have turned up elsewhere previously, but I thought you all might be interested. Apparently framed copies are available through LIFE. Which leads me to wonder: will we ever be able to buy quality framed photos from our archives? It sure would be nice and easy way to generate some additional income for the Order. Tags: aleister crowley, mainstream media
