“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”. The immortal words of astronaut Neil Armstrong as he took his historic first step on the surface of the Moon on 21 July 1969 (NZST). It is estimated over 500 million people watched the ghostly images on their television sets as the historic moonwalk took place. To anyone else looking up into the sky at the time, they would have observed a waxing crescent moon following the sun through the northern sky (as seen from New Zealand in any case).
As an avid enthusiast for all things related to spaceflight and astronomy, the Apollo 11 mission has fascinated me for just as long as I can remember. I wanted to complete a special project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the event and “Moonshot” is the outcome of that project.
“Moonshot” is offered for purchase as an 8″x10″ print on Ilford’s Gold Fibre Silk paper which offers excellent archival properties for a longer-lasting print. I enjoy printing my own work and this edition is printed in my home studio using Canon’s Lucia Pro pigment-based inks. Prints were completed on 16 July 2019 (the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Apollo 11 mission!) Each edition is then hand-numbered and signed using archival pigment ink. The print is mounted using high quality archival matboard and acid-free foamcore board. The print is presented in a contemporary black wooden frame with standard glass and is ready to hang. The print can be enjoyed for many years to come provided it is cared for appropriately.
Each print is supplied with a certificate of authenticity, details about the image and care instructions. For those orders requiring shipping, I only use a signature-required courier delivery service. Each frame will be wrapped in recyclable protective materials and comes packed in a large outer shipping carton.
Thank you for visiting my site and I hope you enjoy my “one small step” in tribute to the Apollo 11 Mission.
