A Speedmaster on the moon
Aug 30, 2013,16:45 PM
Hi there,
I just came back from a trip on the moon with a few shots of my speedmaster !
On the second, third and fourth photos you can see the original boot print of Neil Armstrong !
Ok, ok... you got me... I didn't really go to the moon...
I just made these shots a few years back, on a table, with a lot of sand, dust and rocks, a strong light on the side, and a flat screen showing the picture of the earth at the end of the table.
Before you ask, I totally forgot to take some photos of the installation, sorry about that... and I didn't have the courage to do it again... I spent too much time to clean the mess !
These are not really beautiful pictures, I just made them for the fun of it... I didn't want to keep my feet on the ground with a Speedmaster on my wrist !

You should have had us guessing..... Great shots. Omega could use them on their website! You had a moon boot to make the footprint or did you carve out the footprint in the dust? Dean
Thanks for your compliment

For the boot print, I just built a fake one with some Wood , and I pressed it hard in the dust
You know

I admire the effort you went through to take these pictures. Although it was a mess- very well worth it. The pictures are incredible! Well down. Also nice watch by the way ;) I love the speedmaster - even with crown guards! Best Edmond
