Moon 1968–1972
Produktdetaljer
The 1969 moon landing and the five more missions in the years that followed generated hundreds of photographs taken by the astronauts themselves. Photographs from every Apollo mission offer a glimpse not only of the historical moment when man first set foot on the lunar landscape, but of stunning compositions of space and the unknown.

Less famous images: accidental double exposures, messy takes of experiment sites and off-kilter photos of horizon lines...And the less iconic b-roll just adds to the narrative of ever expansive space.

An eerily placid and provocative little book, featuring stark but spectacular photos from NASA’s Apollo archives that juxtapose sight-seeing, science and the sublime.

...evokes the rich mixture of emotion, yearning and speculation that have long surrounded Earth’s mysterious companion and neighbor...this slim, elegant volume also serves as a bittersweet reminder of a time when, despite the tensions of the Cold War — and, in part, thanks to the motivations they engendered — Americans still dared to dream big, sharing a collective spirit of awe over the historic achievements of an innovative, ambitious, tax-supported space program.

The Moon 1968-1972, a… provocative little book, features a selection of otherworldly images from NASA’s archives that juxtaposes the sublime with sightseeing, pits philosophical and propagandistic readings against documentary ones, and contrasts the moon’s eerily laid and articulated surface with the stark blankness of outer space.
- Marvin Heiferman, Photobook Review
At a time when archival images are often hastily assembled into digital galleries that get passed around briefly on social media, it’s especially satisfying to sit with an affordable ($18), carefully edited, designed and printed archive of photographs of historical significance and esthetic value.
