Story / Additional InfoFrom the last historic Discovery Space Shuttle Launch. This photo was shot before the last ever flight of the Discovery Space Shuttle before it was retired. Rodney was invited to photograph the launch and he was the only one to get this particular moment when the lights went on behind the Shuttle on the launch pad as all the other photojournalists had left shortly beforehand so he was the only one there. One of these is in the Smithsonian Collection where the actual Space Shuttle now lives in retirement.

Art Brokerage: Rodney Lough Jr. American panoramic photographer: We have buyers today. In 2000-2001, while living in Happy Valley, Oregon, Lough focused on landscape photography and drew his entire income from art festival circuit artwork sales.In 2000, he spent six months out of the year driving to and participated in 32 shows around the United States and spent the other six months photographing landscape scenes.In 2001, his efforts paid off and he was invited to participate in the Lake Oswego, Oregon art festival, close to where he grew up. One commentator noted in August 2010 that "the jump-out-at-you colors of the nature photography of Rodney Lough Jr. recalled memories of visits to Point Reyes and Yosemite National Park." The natural world photo which brought him the top award over 3,500 other previously award winning submissions, "Passing Through," was taken at Nevada's Black Rock Desert and focused on color, texture and detail that allowed viewers to see in real life what they otherwise would never see. In 2012, Lough lead several outdoor photography workshops in Arizona's Antelope Slot Canyon near Page, Arizona. Art Brokerage has buyers for prints by Rogney Lough Jr. Listings wanted.
