The Astronaut Photographer

I feel like we never hear much about Canadians.  But I’m glad I heard about this one.

Col. Chris Hadfield is a flight engineer on expedition 34 on the ISS with a love of photography.  Every day on his Tumblr he posts one image for the world to see.  His Twitter is also popular as he tweets those images and more.  Hadfield has made all of this even more fun by engaging his fans in various photo challenges.

Chris is on the ISS until May 2013, but, don’t fret, it looks like he’s planning on going up for expedition 35 as commander on the ISS 🙂  Heck, I wish I could go and take pictures too!
