Photograph of a broad-shouldered woman with deep brown skin, a broken nose and salt-and-pepper hair in a 1940s red sci-fi uniform sliding a chrome lever.

A mission controller forcefully slides a heavy, sweeping chrome thrust lever along a sleek Deco track at a rocket base. Shot on Kodachrome sheet film, the image features the signature vibrant primaries and polished aesthetic of 1940s Saturated Technicolor Fantasy, with rich reds and deep blues contrasting against brilliant metallic highlights.
