I have a couple of Mars pictures decorating my cubicle, that's one of them.

I was running a professional photo lab in Toronto in 1976. I saw a couple of shots from the Viking lander, one of the nearby rocks, the other of sunrise on Mars. I called NASA and asked about getting slides of them. They said they normally didn't send them outside the US, but after we talked a while, they did.

Cutting to the chase, I made 4x5 internegatives of the two slides and 30x40 color enlargements that looked dynamite on the wall. Those were exciting times.
