about

Tales of photography and regret on Earth's largest satellite. Inspired by the experience of Eugene Cernan who left his camera on the lunar surface as part of NASA's Apollo 17 mission - the last to visit the moon. Cameras were generally left behind to reduce takeoff weight from the moon but in this instance it was hoped that a subsequent mission would retrieve it.

lyrics

Study myself in the glass,
Reflecting on my distant past.
The pits and craters on my face
Remind me of my trip to space.

I think we had a real blast
But the past stays firmly in the past.
No self-portraits anymore.
Nothing to remember what I saw.

I left my camera on the moon.
Didn’t know we were going home so soon.
Thought we’d be back before we knew
But that was 1972.

Looked down at the sky
Then the moon hit my eyes
And I saw we’d arrived
And it was so cold and so beautiful.

Took a few snapshots of my feet.
It’s a cliche but the background was really neat.
And I can’t help be a little sad.
It’s the only Hasselblad I ever had.

I left my camera on the moon.
Didn’t know we were going home so soon.
Thought we’d be back before we knew
But that was 1972.
