Found an old newspaper and figured I'd take a picture depicting a man so anxious to read about the Moon Landing that he's in awe on his driveway. White t-shirt part of the late 60's dress. Morning hair because who gets fixed up to get the morning paper anyway?

Thanks KaDi....that's the nicest comment yet! You made my day (well night).
This was a fun challenge for me. My assumption was ...even though he watched the activities on TV the night before, he's STILL completely in awe and he can't wait to see more pictures and read about it.
Glad you liked it and I'm very pleased with the result.
Fantastic! This picture rocks. I always wondered what emotions were like for people living during that historical moment. This totally satisfies my curiosity. Great job!
6 - Met the Challenge, but by a little 'stretch' in my opinion. I like the concept, 'the morning reading the paper etc etc' - I guess 'he' had no tv.. Criticism; whilst it is a seemingly well 'set' shot, and a good one (in fact to me, looks like a still from a movie), for the Challenge I am interpreting it as either a photograph of the contents of a time capsule, or an era that a photograph of, could go into a time capsule that would depict said era for future generations, so I find it hard to relate either of those (barring the newspaper) to this shot.
I think that this was executed very well. The tones in the image a perfect and the headlines on the paper drwn the attention of the viewer into the era. Nice job.
