Apollo 11, July 16th 1969 8:32AM

For the 50th anniversary of the Apollo program, I wanted to do a piece in honor of one of the greatest achievements in history: landing 12 astronauts on the moon from 1969-1972. The Saturn V, easily one of the most impressive pieces of engineering in modern history, was an incredible inspiration growing up.
Ever since I was a child I was a fan of NASA. Every book I read about space, every photo of the moon landings I was transfixed with pure awe at what was possible. In many ways, realizing that humanity could do more and aspire to achieve something profound and wonderful has been a guiding force in my creative work.

For the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, I captured the very moments just after the Saturn V departed Cape Canaveral.
