SpaceTraveler

We live in a time of unprecedented possibilities. Every day new discoveries are helping each of us live longer, healthier and happier. Discoveries from space exploration can be found in everything from cell phones, to medicines, to inspiring stories. Space is romantic, dramatic, beautiful, mysterious, hostile, exotic and erotic all at the same time. It has been called everything from the ‘edge of heaven’ to the ‘new frontier’ to the ‘inverted sea’

“In 1975, Maiden Voyage premiered a multi-media space-opera entitled ‘Space Wish’. On the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing, this music-video is dedicated to NASA, JPL and the Apollo 11 team. It is also dedicated to the American people who demonstrated what a unified nation can do together.” – Joe Sohm, Visions of America.

A local bobcat visits my camera trap on the edge of civilization high up in the Santa Monica Mountains overlooking the Bay. As I explore the remote canyons and ridges in the rugged landscape, I notice many similarities between my camera traps and the robotic rovers exploring the surface of Mars.
