Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise autograph on base of Apollo 13 Command and Service Module/Lunar Module model. After an explosion in the Service Module left the Command Module (Odyssey) without adequate power and air, the Lunar Module (Aquarius) became the astronauts' lifeboat as they worked with Mission Control to safely return to Earth.
The inscription reads:
"I was proud of Aquarius. She was magnificent."
A rework 8 1/2 years later...
London's West End just before attending a performance of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" at the Apollo Theatre. Two months and one day later, the theater's ceiling collapsed during a performance of the play.
With new technology available, I ran the RAW image through DXO PureRaw2 and PhotoLab 5. I turned on ClearView Plus and Smart Lighting at the default settings, and set Contrast to 2 and Microcontrast to 5.
I did take the image into Photoshop to straighten it slightly and do a little bit of cropping...PhotoLab's cropping is not as effective as other post processing software with longer track records.
An earlier rendering (also an update using some Topaz Plugins in PhotoShop) is at flic.kr/p/xYZhL7

Ladies in Retirement

Based on a famous real-life murder which took place at the end of the 19th century, this play has become one of the most successful and most frequently performed in the modern repertoire. An eerie atmosphere of mystery is evoked in a dark, lonely house on the marshes of the Thames estuary in the 1880s. The characters, presented with great psychological realism, and the strong vein of earthy comedy invest the play with a liveliness unusual for such a genuinely horrifying murder play.

Apollo Mapping Camera
Flight Backup
Mapping the lunar surface was a high priority during Apollo 15, 16, and 17. Mounted in the service module, the mapping camera captured high resolution images of the Moon as the spacecraft orbited. While returning to Earth, command module pilots performed spacewalks to retrieve the film canisters, mounted on the right side of the camera.
This flight backup, available for those missions if the installed cameras were damaged or malfunctioned before launch, is the best surviving example. The flown versions remained in the service modules, which burned up when they reentered the Earth's atmosphere.

Survival Rucksack
The Apollo survival kit was designed to provide a 48-hour post landing survival capability to the three-man crew. It was carried in two rucksacks. Rucksack 1 and its contents are displayed here. Rucksack 2 contained a three-man life raft, a sea anchor, and three sun bonnets. The rucksack shown here was carried on the Apollo 11 mission.

Manual electric projector with plastic coating. It projects standing pictures of 35mm perforated positive films. It works on 230 V, meets the standards of double insulation. It does not need earthed connection socket. The roof-shaped part on the upper part of the device diverts the heat generated by the lamp. The clearness of the pictures can be adjusted by twisting the lense of the projector.
On the left stood Apollo, one foot raised on a rock, playing his lyre standing on omphalos (the earth's navel stone, tied down at Delphi). On the right stands a Muse holding one arm of Apollo's lyre.
Apollo (my Bratz Boyz Koby) standing against a green backdrop.
His hair is pre-curled curly copper saran from DollyHair. I rooted it in, then styled it by brushing it out with a metal wig brush, and wrapping each individual hair around my finger to create loose spirals. If you don't brush out the pre-curled hair, it will look messy and gelled (some people like that look, but I like curls to look soft, fluffy, and natural.)

Here is a peek inside the Westcott Apollo 28" softbox. It has a shaft the mounts onto the lightstand. Small speedlights would mount just above the shaft. For the Qflash I used a second mount down lower so I could get the bare bulb in the center of the box. The front attaches with hook and loop. Cables and lightstand enter through a zipper hole in the bottom. Very quick setup.

[221/366] Looking out to see from Apollo Bay - a lovely town where we had a stop-over on our tour up the Great Ocean Road.
Hier doen wij Apollo en Daphne na, het persoonlijk favoriete beeld van Silas van de beelden die we hebben gezien. Katinka is gelukkig niet echt in een laurier veranderd zoals wel in de tragische mythe gebeurde. Apollo en Daphne kijken in het origineel natuurlijk erg serieus en geschokt, maar zij waren dan ook niet op vakantie in Ostia. Wij zijn ook niet zo groot als het beeld aangezien het origineel bijna twee en een half meter lang is. Het beeld komt oorspronkelijk uit Griekenland maar is al na 5 jaar naar Rome gegaan. Het is daar te bewonderen in de Galleria Borghese, waar wij het ook hebben gezien.
