[Music]
in the history of people and photography
is not very old
writing sculpture art I mean these are
all pieces of documentation and
photographs show the real thing I mean
they’re kind of like living ghosts
shadows of history that you can actually
see maybe not great moments we don’t
have pictures of Babe Ruth hitting a
home run but there’s pictures of people
like us just doing our thing just live
in our life
every picture in these brown files every
one of them I’ve looked at
[Music]
seeing the whole world not as it is
right now but as it was 100 years ago
this picture here of the Sphinx remained
unpublished for many decades there was a
note on the envelope in fact I got the
envelope here looks like says the Sphinx
has been entirely uncovered this picture
is very much out of date signed
Grosvenor the editor date of 1928 so
he’s telling his editors this this
picture is not current in 1928 so don’t
use this one use another one that shows
what sinks actually looks like at that
point
consequently it didn’t get published and
here we have it close to 90 years later
and and I we have published it recently
so it’s like wow at least for me it’s
like opening your grandparents family
album for the first time you see all
these people how they were when they
were young and you see people you
haven’t met but you know almost familiar
you can see their faces so clearly and
it looks like the pictures were just
just taking it in some ways
and other cultures places around the
world I see people carry heavy loads on
their head always amazes me I mean how
do they get that on top of their head
first of all then you walk around
without falling National Geographic
image collection manages 11 and a half
million images I oversee the vintage
side which is an estimated 8 million
images we have about 12,000
illustrations we have one of the largest
collections of all the Chrome’s that
exists in the world we have nearly half
million black-and-white prints we have
pictures from the 1870s we have hand
tinted black-and-white prints I think we
have a lot of masterpieces here I think
they’re vintage guys we’re really good
photographers being dedicated their
lives to this but most this collection
hasn’t been published it’s not like
sitting at a monitor and typing in a
keyword it’s not dry searching for
pictures in the files and it just makes
you think and reflect
that’s pretty creamy you can see the
people crossing the bridge and stuff
I guess you’d think you’d get tired of
it after four or five years I’ve
actually enjoyed it more each year when
I see the same old pictures over and
over I see more into it rather than
getting tired of seeing it
I see more beauty or more artistry it
doesn’t get over that’s for sure
