You can also search by individual photographer. Cool, for sure!

There is a really wonderful photograph of my father with a bouquet of flowers sitting on a bench waiting for my mom in the Heidelberg Germany train station just after the war. Supposedly this image was in Life. It will be nice to be able to track that down and see if it is true or not.

This link in the article goes to the currently available archive. It's probably a demo site.
