'Hope Will Never Be Silent' | Castro Street, San Francisco | Kodak Tri-X 400 Just four weeks ago I visited San Francisco for a photography project. It feels like another lifetime… From today I’ll be sharing some shots from that trip. Stay safe everyone… #sanfrancisco #castrostreet #hope #blackandwhitephotography #bwphotography #madewithkodak #trix400 #shootfilmmag #heyfsc #analogfromtheworld #ifyouleave #filmphotomag
APOLLO 11 LM-L0 Star Chart (A) | Kodak Tri-X 400 | Minolta XD11 The “LM-L0 Star Chart (A)” was flown on the Apollo 11 mission, depicting the night sky as projected for the time the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle was scheduled to lift off the lunar surface to rendezvous with the command module Columbia orbiting above. It was designed to be used by the astronauts in conjunction with the Alignment Optical Telescope to program the spacecraft's precise attitude and position at takeoff.

APOLLO 11 In-flight coverall, N Armstrong | Kodak Tri-X 400 | Minolta XD11 ‘I think that people should be recognized for their achievements and the value that adds to society’s progress. But it can easily be overdone. I think highly of many people and their accomplishments, but I don’t don’t believe that that should be paramount over the actual achievements themselves. Celebrity shouldn’t supersede the things they’ve accomplished.’ - Neil A. Armstrong to James R. Hanson - ‘First Man’ This jacket was worn by astronaut Neil Armstrong for some segments of the Apollo 11 mission. During the Apollo missions, the astronauts were able to change out of the full pressure suit they wore during launch, into a lightweight four-piece garment known as inflight cover garments. The complete outfit consists of jacket, which was equipped with reinforced holes on the upper torso through which the medical connectors could pass, and snap closures at the wrist and down the front. The trousers had a snap and elastic waist for adjustment, and snaps at the ankle for attachment to the boots, and for fit. The boots had snaps for attachment to the legs of the trousers and a circular Velcro patch on the soles. The garment is constructed of a Teflon-coated beta cloth which is highly fire resistant, and the "slippery" qualities of the fabric enabled the astronaut to put it on and take it off with ease in a weightless environment.

APOLLO 11 Command Module ‘Columbia’ | Kodak Tri-X 400 | Minolta XD11 'May I still call you Columbia? I know you are still traveling, visiting museums now instead of zooming off to strange places, but before you get too complacent, I want to remind you of your humble origin. You were born in 1966 in Downey, California, and there I christened you. Gumdrop, one of your predecessors was called, but I bypassed your awkward, squashed-mushroom geometry and looked to your future, bobbing gracefully on the Pacific swells: indeed Columbia, Gem of the Ocean. How well I remember nursing you along the assembly line, not an easy process as we labored past midnight through one arduous test after another to validate your credentials. I was proud of you and eager to climb on board, as we made frequent visits to Launch Pad 39A, Gateway to the Moon.' @astromichaelcollins - ‘Dear Columbia’ With thanks to @cincymuseum & @airandspacemuseum #apollo11 #nasa #MadeWithKodak #trix400 #minolta #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #analogphotography #analogue #theanalogueproject #travelwellshootoften #filmphotographic #analogfeatures #heyfcs #sharefilm
