Ever wonder what the favorite photographs are of the LIFE editors? Here you go.
Can we get kittens to go with our dog, Kurt? :D
… I suppose. I like cats better, though if they try to sharpen their claws on any of my things I’ll turn them into slippers.

A stunning portrait of the city we love: New York.
New York City’s history is a seemingly endless story, from the wide-eyed immigrants of Ellis Island to today’s caffeinated commuters buzzing through subway stations. The new book New York: Portrait of a City gives the city an impeccable tribute, devoting 600 pages to documenting the Big Apple through the eyes of 150 world-class photographers, including Esther Bubley, Paul Himmel, LIFE’s Alfred Eisenstaedt, among others.
Here, images from the book that capture New York and a handful of its 8 million stories.
Get this for my birthday Blaine!
