Rad compare/contrast of the covers, contents pages, and page design of National Geographic over the years with a sampling from 1968, 1988, 2000, and 2009 (covers below).
I think it’s about time I sit down with the complete, 120 years of NatGeo DVD set the ‘rents got me and the old school NatGeo index I inherited from my grandparents.

Natural gas—the kind that heats ovens and boils water—specifically methane, is the culprit behind the mysterious disappearances and loss of water and air craft. The evidence for this astounding new insight into a mystery that’s bedeviled the world is laid out in a research paper published in the American Journal of Physics.

So. Sad.
They have cougars at the entrance. COUGARS!
If that doesn’t say class, then I don’t know what does.
RIP, Cardinal Lounge. You were one classy joint.
Additionally: Mercury News, you really outdid yourself with that title. A tip of the hat to you.
This has been sitting as an open tab in my browser for the last week or so since it first appeared in one of my feeds. I suppose it’s only fitting that I’m just getting around to posting it now, no?
I’d never bothered to get into Polaroid transfers (despite that being my reasoning behind investing in a Land 360 in the first place), as I’d read a slide printer was necessary. And after investing in a camera and some (at the time) soon-to-be discontinued film, it sounded way more expensive than I’d originally anticipated. So I stuck to emulsion lifts, which had originally seemed like more trouble to me.
But my last post got me thinking that it was about time I took another look at image transfers. A bit of investigative journalism later, and I came across this hybrid process. It makes the whole thing seem much more accessible than the sites/instructions I’d found before. I know what I’ll be doing this weekend!
But alas, for now at least, it’s only a concept. In the meantime, having never gotten a slide printer or anything of the sort, I’ll just stick to emulsion lifts.
