00999 US Pavillion at Expo 67, Montreal 1967

            Inside the United States Pavillion at Expo 67 in Montreal - the first world's fair to be designated an "expo". This was a remarkable geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller. People criticized it heavily at the time as being devoid of content, but I liked the airy, spacey feeling inside - unlike the nearby USSR Pavillion, which was crammed with technology. The space race was on at the time, or more specifically, the race to the moon, and it was fascinating to get a closeup look at some of the early space hardware such as this satellite. I shot this with my first 35 mm camera, a Kowa-H. 

Scanned from the original Ektachrome-X slide (ISO 64), May 1967.
