What self-respecting geek doesn't get the warm fuzzies at the mere mention of the RAID.

Digitization of Library of Congress Uncovers Lost Kubrick Early Photos

Few people know that before he started making movies, Stanley Kubrick was a star photojournalist. Six weeks after graduating from high school, Kubrick went to work for Look magazine the way other kids went to college. The Kubrick-Kupcinet story, "Chicago City of Contrasts," ran five pages, and included 11 pictures. Plenty of landmarks are here: State Street at night, dinner at the Pump Room, a South Side kitchen full of kids, a cheerful stripper in the middle of her act, a jazz club, a boxing match, the floor of the stock exchange, sleek commuter trains standing in the station, a bum eating lunch alone in a rubble-filled lot on the West Side. Kubrick shot 40 rolls of film. What happened to the other photographs? We don't need to wonder. Almost all of Look's picture files -- approximately 5 million images in the form of negatives, proof sheets and prints -- were donated to the Library of Congress in 1971, just after the magazine folded. There they remained, uncataloged, inaccessible to the public. In the mid-1990s, Congress allocated funds for the Look cataloging project, the material was opened to the public about 2001, and a user-friendly finding aid went up on the Library of Congress Web site within the last six months...
