Jack Rosen was one of the best photographers of his time, yet a lot of us most likely aren’t familiar with him and his work. That is what a crowdfunding project seeks to change, first by digitizing and cataloging the lot of negatives and slides he left upon his passing in 2006.

Few pictures in history can strike up as much emotion, and pure awe as those of our closest neighboring celestial body, the Moon.
