This was a pretty cool: Our Editing class recently needed to do a make up class during the NYU spring break, so two of our classmates volunteered the use of a Time/Life building conference room — which included a tour of their very impressive facilities. As office buildings go, it was top-notch with excellent meeting rooms for visitors and nice cafeteria; but it was their hallways that floored me.
As you step off their elevators, the greeting area is lined with all of their award-winning images eye-level; like 50 pictures. Then on the way to the conference rooms are two hallways that are lined with living history dripping from the walls. Time had a hallway solely for dedicated displays to given subjects, including: The Zapruder Film, McCarthy Era, Martin Luther King, and Muhammad Ali.
Further along, they displayed an Earth globe used for an annual cover photo, an Oscar they had been awarded, and a Wall of Fame that included their iconic photos of Gandhi, Churchill, and General MacArthur. Unreal!
