Out of This World Signing!


I had the great honor of photographing astronaut John Young's signing this week at
Nova Space Gallery

It is a really neat place that specializes in Space Memorabilia and Authentic Astronaut Autographs.

They schedule astronauts to come into their store and sign photos, baseballs, whatever clients send in for the astronauts to autograph.

One of the services they offer is you can paid extra and you get a photo of the astronaut signing your item! How cool is that? There will never be a question if the autograph is real or not.

Well, I have photographed astronauts

Harrison Schmitt

Dave Scott

Frank Borman

Mike Collins

for the gallery (with Jim McDivitt popping in to say hi to his friends)


This week I got to photograph astronaut John Young again.

What a THRILL!

John Young was the 1st person to fly into space 6 times, including journeys to the Moon twice.

He is the only person to have piloted in space four different classes of spacecraft: Gemini spacecraft, Apollo Command/Service Module, Apollo Lunar Module and Space Shuttle.

After 42 years with NASA, he retired in 2004 but he still attends the Monday Morning Meetings.

It is always a great honor and super fun to hang out with the astronauts during their signings.

I can't wait for the next one!
