alkaline Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 I seem to remember somebody posting a picture from National Geographic a while back that contained a picture of the inside of a Ney York subway car that was crushed. I did a search, but came up empty handed. I'm not sure if it was an article about the subway system or about graffiti or what, but if anybody knows what issue of National Geographic this photo appeared in, please let me know. I found out that my future father-in-law has every issue since like 1970 or something in his garage, and I don't feel like going through them all. Thanks.

MisPantalonesEstaEnfuega Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 In one of the Newsweek Photojournalism books (I think Number two...) they have a picture of a small old man holding on for dear life in a crushed subway car. It has a caption like, "Jewish Banker's adventure through the NYC Subway." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiberoptical Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 It is on Brooklyn...I have it..between 1980-1984...and there is also another one on the underground of NYC and they are going through one of the deepest tunnels in NYC and they find a SANE tag..in the very middle and go on to breifly explain the history of SANE and his myth like stature as a writer....and they are bewildered at the fact he walked that tunnel....good stuff.The Brooklyn issue has the photo that was used on the cover of FATCAP...a euro mag from about 93...

Guest --zeSto-- Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I was going to just say wrong... but there may be two issues. The one I'm thining of is about Harlem. It's got a little girl with a freezie infront of a taged wall on the cover. “Growing Up in East Harlem,” National Geographic (May 1990) might be it.

alkaline Posted February 26, 2002 Author Share Posted February 26, 2002 I found a website that has general listings of most issues. Here is what I found: May 1980 - Long Island May 1983 - Brooklyn September 1990 - New York City I'm going to did through the stacks this weekend, and I'll let you guys know if I find it. If you guys have it already and can dig it out before me, and you feel like posting the articles, please do. If not, I'll see what I can do next week. What issue is that SANE bit in?

alkaline Posted February 26, 2002 Author Share Posted February 26, 2002 Wouldn't it be nice to have The Complete National Geographic (112 years) CD-ROM? "This 32-disk archive contains every article from every issue (1888-2000) photos, page maps, and even classic ads." ... and it's searchable.

Guest --zeSto-- Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I'd rather have the hardcopies! Imagine an entire room that's pure yellow from the spines of thousands of issues. ahhhh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkaline Posted February 26, 2002 Author Share Posted February 26, 2002 http://rbvhs.vusd.k12.ca.us/teachers/chagala/year.htm? There you go ... Like I said, it's not too specific, but I think it will do just fine. Wait ... were you talking about the CD-ROM? If so, just go to National Geographic and do a search in the store.

MOE FUNK Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 May 1983 "The Wonderful Brooklyn Bridge" The cover should have a 1900's style rendering of the Brooklyn Bridge. Not sure though, I lost the cover some time ago but May 83 is the right issue... http://www.freephoto-i.net/users/MOE/NatGeoGraff.gif'> When stock caps and easy oven caps ruled.

Like I said before, my future father-in-law has every issue since the 70's I think. I just don't want to go through them one by one, because my fiance and her family live about 150 miles away from me, and I didn't want to spend my whole weekend in his garage.

bobobi11 Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Originally posted by Hue Jass my grandpas got from 1976-1980 somthing ill check that out... thats a whole closet full of yellow Then there's got to be more than four years. I have about 30-40 years worth and it doesn't even fill a full five shelf bookcase. I actually acquired these mags along with a bunch of other stuff I wanted. Do you realize how hard it is to get rid of that many magazines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkaline Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 Thanks for the flick, modesto. I'm going to check those other issues that I mentioned this weekend. I'll post if I find any more pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
