"Apollo 11 - Buzz Aldrin Deploying the SWC"

Photo made by Neil Armstrong using a 70mm Hasselblad camera

The word 'Sun' is printed on the sunward side.

Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado USA, I'm a nature and landscape photographer primarily focused on the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Working in both color and black and white, I use a variety of photographic techniques to capture the many moods of mountain landscapes, from intimate perspectives to grand vistas, in locations both iconic and seldom-visited.
