Chris Hadfield

Chris Hadfield works at Nasa in the Robotics division.  He is a retired astronaut and engineer, and the first Canadian to walk in space.  He also lead the team on the International Space Station.  He had several space missions, and was an RCAF fighter pilot.  

When Chris speaks he does so with great intelligence and persuasion.  He is a natural leader.  His many clips and pics from the space station were great.  Who doesn't remember the guitar and singing?!

I used two images of Chris and used elements of each to make this piece.  I also used an image of the ISS and tilted it to my desired angle.  The moon is a small element here, but it was really fun to work on.
