NASA Space Photography

I was fortunate to photograph the Space Shuttle program for 23 years. From STS-26, the first Return to Flight mission following the Challenger accident, to STS-135, the final Space Shuttle mission. Launches, landings, rollouts, walkouts, astronauts, payloads, launch pads, sunrises, and sunsets. What an honor and privilege it was. Truly one of the major highlights of my life. Below are just a few of the thousands of photographs I shot over the years, some of my favorites. The friendships and memories I made will stay with me always. I miss this, tremendously.
