Apollo 11 – The Epic Journey of Magazine ‘S’

We take for granted that the Apollo missions’ photographs are stunning but the untold back-story behind them is equally so.   The technical brilliance and dedication of a few key people, ensured that the Apollo 11 photographs, documenting our first footprints on another world, would endure as long as those footprints themselves.

After watching the fuzzy TV pictures of the first moon landing, the world was stunned by these pin-sharp pictures when they were released, shortly after splashdown in 1969.   This book illustrates the care, the attention to detail and planning that went into sending men to the moon armed with Hasselblad cameras.   But it does more than that.  It follows the film from Kodak’s factory gate to the processing laboratory in Houston, lifting the veil on long forgotten logistics on the way.   The detail in this book is incredible and will bring to life the story of the iconic photography from the Apollo 11 mission.
