Christmas Eve 50 Years Ago.

Earthrise – Apollo 8 December 24, 1968

As a photographer, I love this audio of the “photo shoot”.

Note that the image is 1/250 @ f11. 

We did not see this image on that Christmas Eve long long ago. It had to return to earth. And go off to be developed and printed.

But we did huddle around our TVs and radios and heard:

In the spirit of that Christmas Eve, once again, no politics until Dec 26. Or is just remembering this time (which was not all that great – Vietnam comes to mind) is not just remembering this time a political act. 

Fiat Lux.
