This has always been one of my favorites. I retouched it to give it a more artistic feel recently.
My original intention was to put up the photo with no story because I think it would evoke some wonder by the viewer.
The story in short: My daughter was maybe 3 months old when we went on a road trip to Cape Kennedy. I sat down next to this lifesize astronaut model (or so I thought) when it moved! Startled the crap out of me but my daughter was tickled. With no words, the astronaut slowly reached out for her. She loved it.
I enjoy all these images for one reason or another.
Some are mine,
others have been captured or created by some tremendous
photographers that I wish I knew better. All of them have a story to tell.
