Life.com launched March 31, 2009 and closed January 30, 2012.
Life.com was developed by Andrew Blau and Bill Shapiro, the same team that launched the weekly newspaper supplement.
While the archive of LIFE, known as the LIFE Picture Collection, was substantial they searched for a partner who could provide significant contemporary photography.
They approached Getty Images, the world's largest licensor of photography.
The site, a joint venture between Getty Images and "Life" magazine, offered millions of photographs from their combined collections.
On the 50th anniversary of the night Marilyn Monroe sang "Happy Birthday" to John Kennedy, LIFE.com presented Bill Ray's iconic portrait of the actress, along with other rare photos.
"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" starring Ben Stiller and Kristen Wiig portrays LIFE as it transitions away from printed material towards having only an online presence.
Life.com is now a redirect to a small photo channel on Time.com.
Life.com also maintains Tumblr and Twitter accounts. 
Life.com published the photographs as the 65th anniversary of D-Day beckoned in June 2009.
The website published the photographs in four separate galleries online.
One photo showed Hitler saluting German troops in Adolf Hitler Platz on 1 September 1938.
Another showed the Nazi leader attending a Christmas Party in 1941.
Further photos show Hitler at the International Auto Exhibition held in Berlin in 1939 and Hitler on a cruise that same year. 
Vespa is most widely known for being one of nine co-founders of the photo agency website WireImage.com and its parent company MediaVast.
He was also the original designer of WireImage's grid layout design.
This design has now been adopted as the photo industry standard.
In February 2007, MediaVast announced that it would sell to Getty Images for $207 million in an all cash deal.
Starting in 2003, Vespa has been the official photographer of the Sundance Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival since 2006.
In 2004, he joined forces with Paris Hilton to create a NY Times Bestselling book, Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose which was followed the next year with Your Heiress Diary: Confess it All to Me.
Vespa was the Editor-at-Large of the LIFE.com from March 2009 to February 2012.
On October 2, 2012 Vespa launched Verge (www.verge.is), a web magazine dedicated to discovering new talent. 
Ralph Morse (born 1917) was a career staff photographer for "Life" magazine known for his inventive mind and his creative style.
Encyclopedias and history books abound with his photos, as he has photographed some of the most widely seen pictures of World War II, the United States space program, and sports events.
He is most celebrated for his multiple-exposure photographs.
Morse's success as an improviser has led to his being considered "Life" magazine's specialist in technical photography.
Former managing editor George P. Hunt declared that "If equipment he needed didn't exist, [Morse built it."
During his thirty years at "Life", Morse covered every type of assignment from science to theater, from fads to spot news.
When first hired by "Life" and sent to photograph World War II, he was the youngest war correspondent.
His pictures documented the war's Pacific and European theatres and the post-war reconstruction of Europe.
Morse was the civilian photographer at the signing of the surrender by the Germans to General Dwight Eisenhower.
He was the senior staff photographer at the time when "Life" ceased weekly publication.
Morse photographed the NASA space program from its inception, an assignment which outlasted "Life" as a weekly magazine.
On November 6, 2009 LIFE.com unveiled a photo retrospective of Project Mercury, America's first human spaceflight program.
Most of this photo collection is credited to Morse, as he had been exclusively assigned by "Life" to cover the space program.
Over the early decades of the space program, Morse became an insider at NASA, providing him with the privileged access which helped produce some of the most iconic images of NASA projects.
On July 15, 2009, LIFE.com published a photo gallery of never-before-seen photos Morse took of Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins, and Neil Armstrong in the days before their Apollo mission.
In the gallery, Morse talks with "Life" about Apollo 11 and the astronauts who first landed on the moon.
Morse holds deeply the belief that photos lend a unique understanding to the world in which we live.
Photographer Jim McNitt, who worked with Morse on several "Time" magazine assignments in the 1970s, describes him as a fun-loving extrovert who was delighted to mentor an aspiring photojournalist.
"Watching Ralph plan his shots, respond to editors, and deal with reluctant subjects with off-hand humor taught me things I couldn't learn in photo magazines or workshops," says McNitt.
Former "Life" managing editor George P. Hunt proclaimed of Morse, "If "Life" could afford only one photographer, it would have to be Ralph Morse."
