Google is hosting an archive of mostly-unpublished Life Magazine photographs dating all the way back to the 1750s. As you might expect, it contains some amazing images. This 1960 shot of a 75-year old woman sipping a "Husband Killer" cocktail at `The Islander' restaurant in Los Angeles, and Nixon at a luau in Hawaii are my faves thus far.
I whipped up an authentic Trader Vic's Navy Grog tonight, and tried my hand at making a shaved-ice cone with a straw stuck through the middle. Then I got out the old camera tripod, and took a few cocktail/mug photos down in the Hai'deaway.
The pool is currently invite-only to keep things on topic, so if you like to photograph tropical cocktails and/or Tiki mugs, get yourself a Flickr account, add me as a contact, and send me an e-mail along with a sample of your work.
See you there!

I blogged about H4ever back in 2005, when my friend X-8 took a set of beautiful dawn photographs of Johnny Ramone's grave marker. According to some accounts, the cemetery is now forcing everyone to register at the gate and forbidding photography, which would be a real shame.
