The Roll Out: I took this shot of Apollo 11 on the launch pad exactly two months before the launch. The moon, above the tower, is in the same exact crescent that it was in when the rocket actually launched in July. (Another version of this shot is currently on exhibit at the Monroe Gallery in Santa Fe.)

A man’s feet in a car during launch. I was on the beach for lift-off and photographed a lot of spectators. It was a a leisurely photo position.
