On this day in LIFE — June 18, 1965: The Space Walk

I absolutely love looking at photos from space. Here are some recent photos I took of Astronaut John Glenn at the LBJ Library. 

Anyone know a good recipe for Corsican mint? #cookingwithherbs #inthegarden (at Home)

Hopefully my lime #basil and Corsican #mint can survive the Texas heat! (at Home)

In 1947, Andreas Feininger made the single most perfect photograph of the single most famous road in America: Route 66, the “Mother Road.”

Look what we found!

I am the dumping ground for old photo stuff at work and it makes me very happy. A while ago museum collections staff came to my space behind the patch bay at work and gave me a crate of photo stuff they no longer use and weren’t sure what to do with. Until today I hadn’t really gone through anything. Thanks to my trusty volunteer/assistant Lindsey, we discovered the Polaroid camera was still working and had some fun with the leftovers - expired Spectra film.
