'Apollo Remembered' Exhibition in New Orleans 13 April - 4 May
My show in New Orleans next week featuring work from the Apollo series as well as a screening of Nichola Bruce's 'Moonbug' and a Q + A. Invite shown below and more information underneath that...
APOLLO REMEMBERED at Good Children Gallery, Opening April 13, 2013 6pm
MOONBUG - documentary film Screening as part of Film-O-Rama, Prytania Theater, April 11, 7:30
pm
The New Orleans Photo Alliance is proud to be partnering with Good Children Gallery and The New
Orleans Film Society to bring acclaimed Photographer Steve Pyke for two events in April: Apollo
Remembered (Pyke’s work about the men that walked on the moon) and Moonbug, a documentary film
directed by Nichola Bruce. Moonbug documents Pyke’s travels in search for the trailblazers of one of
mankind’s greatest achievements of the 20th century.
Apollo Remembered
Bitten by the ‘Moonbug’, photographer Steve Pyke set out on a journey across America to meet and
photograph the Apollo space pioneers. A journey in which he was to meet the adventurers, risk takers
and dreamers who were behind one of the most historic endeavors of our time.
From living rooms, and moonscape deserts, to Cape Canaveral, Steve captures these men in frank,
revealing portraits, while unravelling their very personal and divergent memories. Apollo Remembered
will be opening Saurday, April 13th at 6pm, Good Children Gallery, 4037 St. Claude Ave., New
Orleans, LA 70117.
Moonbug
Documented by filmmaker Nichola Bruce with rare archive footage and an original score by Matt Johnson
(The The), Moonbug is both a photographic road trip and an exploration of how photographs become
signposts for history. Moonbug will screen as part of Film-O-Rama, Thursday April 11th, 7:30 pm at
the Prytania Theater. There will be a Q&A with Steve Pyke after screening.

Philosophers book reviewed in Philosophy Now
Hi Friends!
My second volume of Philosophers has just been reviewed in Philosophy Now, i'm including a link below. Hope you're all well.
Very best,
Steve
The review was written by Constantine Sandis of 'Philosophy Now' and can be seen in full here with a select few quotes below;
Jason Stanley
"Pyke’s collection proves just how wrong Nozick was to suppose that a picture of a person in a moment of time could not reveal a lifetime’s worth of traits, beliefs, emotions and aspirations."
Referring to text contributed by philosophers;
"It is revealing to compare the content of these with those in the 1993 book, as they collectively reveal a small yet steady change in the philosophical climate. "
"Philosophers could not have hoped for a better portrait artist than Steve Pyke. "
