Do you need a new photo resource/drag on your productivity?

[The Junkman]

Stanford University has digitized their photo archives and one in particular could hold much promise.

https://revslib.stanford.edu/

For instance the Jean Charles Martha Photography Collection has beautiful Kodachrome photos of mid-60's European races, Martha being the official Ford company photographer. Long time author Karl Ludvigsen has over 50K photos in his collection. You can search by person, event, model (Porsche 911, Mustang, etc). Some things are not as useful, we don't need 30 photos of Zora Arkus-Duntov's files, but there is a lot of wheat in the chaff. i.e. prototype progression of the classic 55-57 Thunderbird

Hint: find the photo you want, click on it and when the photo pops up in another box use the controls in the upper left hand corner to expand it.

There, that ought to waste most of your afternoon.

Holy Photos! There's maybe 14 pages of 100 photos per page on old Bonneville stuff......

That also led me to the Stanford photo files, which had some interesting goodies like some of the students' Model T speedsters. Thanks!
