Terrific Apollo 11 Photographs

Great photographs. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/07/remembering_apollo_11.html

In 1970, I worked for a company, McDonald Photo Products, that made different products and services related to the professional photography industry. One of them being a process of mounting and lacquering photographs to artist canvas and wrapping around stretcher frames. At the time, it was a pretty cool service. One day we received an order from NASA for a dozen 20x24 mounted on canvas pictures of "Earth Rise". I had the honor of mounting the original for NASA. Little did I realize it would be one of the most important photographs ever taken and the inspiration for Earth Day and the Whole Earth Catalog. Thank you Sandy
