IN STUDY: Nat'l Geographic archiving

I find this article so intriguing and glamorous, even though the job may not seem so. Cataloging and archiving thousands of photographs for hours and hours might get very banal, but looking into a whole other world through old photographs is like reading a fairytale to me.
The particular photograph stream that is featured is very well put together and inspirational since it makes the style of old world photography seem so soft and facile, and the subjects so distant and fantastical. To imagine that these photographers had no idea that decades later people would view their aesthetic decisions. Amazing.
