Lovers meet where they can, 1942.

Edit: A couple of people wrote that they thought this was a mother and daughter, and now I see the older woman’s skirt! I’d looked only at her head and upper body and thought she looked like a man. But I suppose they could have been lovers anyway. 😀

Before he was a filmmaker, Stanley Kubrick was a staff photographer for LOOK Magazine. His first extended assignment (1947) was “Life and Love on the New York Subway.” Here are a few of his shots.

☀️⚫🔭The eclipse is coming! Come celebrate at the Museum. On Monday, April 8, a solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

Here in New York City, we’ll be able to see the Moon cover up to 90 percent of the Sun! The eclipse will start at 2:10 pm, reach maximum coverage at 3:25 pm, and end at 4:36 pm. Join us at the Museum before the eclipse for family-friendly educational activities and to receive your eclipse glasses, with Museum admission and while supplies last.

This archival image, snapped outside the Hayden Planetarium, shows Museum staff preparing to document a solar eclipse in 1940. During an expedition to Jacksonville, Florida in April of that year, a plane carrying pilots, photographers, reporters, and a Museum curator soared 16,200 ft (4,938 m) into the air to photograph this celestial phenomenon from the sky.
