Drawing, Pen and Ink on Paper

Press Site, April 16, 1972. Page from a bound sketchbook. Depicts a cameraman on a platform with a large CBS camera. Other press people and cameras are on the ground below the platform. The scene is dominated by the linear structure of the platform supports and the camera tripods. Text in the upper right hand corner reads: "-2:15:47 and counting. Press Site, April 16, 1972, Alan E. Cober. As I am drawing this the astronauts drove by in a van on the way to the launch site. All the cameramen are focused on them. Well a few are, the rest of the cameramen are hiding from the sun under the press stand. Paul Calle is yelling, "Alan, there go the astronauts." Answer - "very nice."
