45 years...

For a brief time, Photography,Observance of celestial, space and weather events and a few other things happened here. Few people know exactly who what, when, why or where.

Invisible Images (Your Pictures Are Looking at You)

Automated images don't just simply represent things—they actively intervene in everyday life.

Looking back at the decade (again).. LANDING DAY. November 28,2018.

 My first opportunity to send my name to the stars on the hood of a spacecraft.. The “InSight” Mission launched into the night leaving a loud roar from my neck of the woods on the cold stellar coast of California and into the deep black.. The guy on Retro Space Images always posts film photos he took of the TV screen when men walked the moon so I do the same thing now, for space missions, for some reason. Where was I? Getting ready to put a chunk of aluminium into a HAAS machine in my CNC class. A couple of us were sorta keeping an eye on the mission without trying to get too distracted from work. My turn came RIGHT when “bottoms up” occurred over the deserts of Mars. I remember looking up at the clock right when entry was supposed to be happening and wondering how it went. It was a good autumn day, the smoke from the terrible fire up north was finally clearing and things felt more like winter for a change. Then those first photos came in, by golly.. 

 Will go again in 2020! WaHoo!

They couldnt see but they sure heard it leaving babe!
