Apollo XI photographs by David Burnett

The Reva and David Logan Gallery of Documentary Photography cordially invites you to the opening reception for Apollo XI photographs by David Burnett.

Reception
6:00-7:00 p.m.

Lecture by David Burnett
7:00-8:30 p.m.

“As much as Apollo XI became a lodestone for human endeavors in space, the massive gathering represented the American clan: present and in the moment, there to observe the launching. These pictures leave us with a snapshot of what the country’s tempo was like at that time and how man’s quest for space could captivate, amaze, delight and cause a nation to hold its breath looking skyward.”
— David Burnett
