The last photo of Atlantis, before leaving my stationary camera. About a minute and a half later, we hear the jet engines and 15 seconds after that, we feel the rumble. This experience was beyond words. Photo's show the event but no photo can express the true emotion I felt while watching the shuttle go out of sight. If a picture paints a thousand words, well I have several billion stashed away in my memory. Before leaving for Florida, I promised myself that I would not plant my eyes in the eyepiece of a camera.
