Found // National Geographic has a Tumblr

Scanned by: Retouched by: DT-PK QC'd by: DT-RJ

FOUND is a curated collection of photography from the National Geographic archives. In honor of our 125th anniversary, we are showcasing photographs that reveal cultures and moments of the past. Many of these photos have never been published and are rarely seen by the public.

We hope to bring new life to these images by sharing them with audiences far and wide. Their beauty has been lost to the outside world for years and many of the images are missing their original date or location.

This is just the beginning of a great adventure. We will be adding new voices, stories, and artifacts as we go. We look forward to sharing this experience with everyone, and hope you make FOUND your home for inspiration and wonder.

Guardian of the Collection – William Bonner curates our extensive photography archive in the basement of our headquarters in Washington, D.C. Even after years of digging through the shelves of the archive, he still continues to find new stories and inspiring images that increase his appreciation for the collection.

It is 160+ pages packed full of tips & tricks to make your iPhone pictures much more better. I know that’s probably not proper English, but it works for me. There are iPhone app recommendations, details on which iPhone accessories & apps are actually worth spending your hard earned cash money on, and lots of photo editing tips and tricks from professional photographers.

  • iPhone photographers who want to learn a few new skills

  • Writers who want to drive more traffic to their site
  • Small business owners who want to spread the word about their business
  • Content marketers who want more ideas for creating visual content
  • Community managers who want to know how to increase engagement
  • Entrepreneurs who want to up their game
  • Anyone who has had a bad photo of them shared on Facebook. (aka everyone)

If you would like to win your free copy of this fabulous eBook, just leave me a comment. Okay maybe not that easy, how about leave your Instagram name and tell me what your favorite “free” app is (doesn’t have to be photography related, anything free is good!) And, follow me on Instagram @carrieloves – I’ll follow you back, too!

If you’d like to purchase Alli’s book, currently it is on sale, regularly $9.97, priced at $7.00. I can’t guarantee how long the sale is going to last, but it’s definitely worth every penny.

Giveaway ends Friday night, I’ll announce the winner over the weekend.

Good luck!

This week’s theme // lavender

My Lavender Pins on Pinterest

I think lavender is a peaceful, tranquil color. My living living room walls are not quite lavender, they’re a more deep dark brooding purple. But I’m thinking lavender accents are just what it needs to lighten up the space and tie the dark wood furniture, white slipcovered couch & loveseat all together.
