The book NASA rejected: Depravity's Rainbow by Lewis Bush.

In todays episode I visit my friend Lewis Bush who is currently short-listed for the Kraszna-Krausz photo book award with his photo book 'Depravity's Rainbow'. It's a photography project about the dark side of space exploration, from Lewis's text:

'Wernher von Braun was a man with star dust in his eyes, and blood on his hands. In his last thirty years he was an American citizen who built rockets for NASA, machines which landed men on the moon in 1969. But in his first thirty years he was a German citizen, who wore an SS uniform and built ballistic missiles for the military of Nazi Germany, machines which killed thousands of civilians between 1944 and 1945'

I visit him at 'The Bunker' in an undisclosed area of London. We are a little hungover.

And buy his stuff here! http://shop.lewisbush.com/

And back my new photo book on Kickstarter! It's 27% funded with 26 days to go!
