Had a brilliant night last night. Our editor's boyfriend let us take a tour of his workplace. The HultonGetty Images library is one of the largest collection of photographic images in the World, and their Paddington warehouse has millions of catalogued photos, daguerrotypes, plates, and negatives. We got a brief history of the collection, a tour of the vintage rooms and workstacks, and beer! We looked at original Cecil Beaton prints of the Royal family and Vivien Leigh, 19th century Punch editions, and a 1870's San Francisco panorama.



We then went to some tragic bar and drank vodka martinis until midnight. I love boozy olives.
