One of Paul’s digital pieces inspired by the workshop. A truly moving work of the Pad 34 Apollo 1 complex. According to Pual, “I thought that it was a great opportunity for me to use the "2x2 Stitching" mode built into my digital camera, to get a great "wide-angle" view. The idea of "the past into the future" (the shuttle blasting off into the nebulae) came pretty soon as I was working on the image. I also knew I wanted to work the "Abandon In Place" lettering in somewhere. I didn't come up with the idea for the images of Grissom, White and Chaffee and the mission patch until after I had completed everything else and realized that the image did not stand on its own - it needed too much explanation.”
