Favorite Cover
This LIFE special edition To the Moon and Back chronicles the first moon landing, brought about by the courage of the Apollo 11 astronauts and the thousands of people who supported their mission. On the magazine cover is a picture of Buzz Aldrin, taken by fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong. Along with color photographs of this historic walk on the moon, there are biographical sketches of Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins. There is also a history of manned space exploration from the first single orbit around the earth orbit to the launch of Apollo 11.
This is my favorite photo because I love that the astronaut is in their natural environment, which is in space, and you can see the reflection in the mask. I also like that the photographer chose to position the astronaut towards the right of the photo, which goes well with the text that is aligned at the left of the cover. If I were passing by this magazine in the store, I would want to read the article covering the photo on the cover. I also like the lighting, and how the dark background emphasizes the subject more.
