Description

E=MC2. The Albert Einstein Memorial was dedication on April 22, 1979 at the National Academy of Sciences, across the street from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The base that it sits on is the celestial map that plots the positions of the stars at noon on the day it was dedicated.


At the time of the dedication, I was a young Navy photographer and thought that my photo credentials would allow me access to the dedication ceremony. Unfortunately, I was not on the invite list! So, I sat across the street and put on my telephoto lens on my Pentax K1000 and shot away in black and white. The next day, I went to develop the film, and promptly messed up the order of the developer, stop bath and fixer and ended up with nothing. The following weekend, I went back and took so more and they came out. So here I am 43 years later, taking the same shot!
