Great so Pegleg & Pruitt have gone into space now to take even more awesome pictures If only that were so!!! I've been a spacenik since maybe 3rd grade (1954ish). But at this point in my life, I'd just be happy to have the camera that took those snaps.... |

I'd be happy with my current digital camera, and the cash it took to buy that space camera! Better'n the lottery!

I wonder if they're still using Hasselblads up there -- an off-the-shelf model costs at least $10,000, and it gets me when I see the college kids running around with 'em. And here I'm literally using 1840's technology.
It's amazing to see what technical strides NASA has made since they faked them moon shots.....I wonder if they're still using the same studio in New Jersey. Ha! Ha! Ha!

It really happened! We were there!  This is the LEM at the Smithsonian in 1976. In 1966, I visited the Grumman plant in Bethpage, LI, where they were building the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM). An amazingly fragile machine... Anyone remember that early TV show "You Are There"? |

The Hasselblads got a lot of publicity in the Apollo days, but haven't heard anything about the current cameras. thanks for posting that link. Now my wife knows exactly what to get me for Christmas....  |

I'll tell ya pegleg, what surprises me is that Hasselblads are all the rage among the photographic world today, in spite of the predominance of digital. I was quite surprised to find this when I re-entered the photographic world full-time again. They're more popular now than they were in the Apollo days. Maybe that fancy Omega watch will make a comeback, too.
I've got this really cool Mercury Space Capsule plastic model that I'm just about to start putting together -- on the scale of one foot to one inch. It's a big one!

A few years ago, I was showing a co-worker my shots of Monument Valley. The next day he came in with some large format slides he took in MV with a Hasselblad. Knocked my socks off. Amazing shots, even caught a lightning storm in the distance. The trouble is showing those slides to anyone. He had a single slide viewer, but it didn't do justice to the shots. Anyway they were commercial quality. Who made the Mercury Capsule kit? |
