Ingalls has captured some of NASA's most historic moments over the last three decades.
Ingalls has traveled the world photographing missions for NASA. We have all been witness to his assignments and the resulting catalog of his impressive images, be they a launch departing Kennedy Space Center in Florida; the inside of an active volcano in Alaska; clicking away in the White House Oval Office to the brutally cold Kazakh steppes; and even crawling around on the floor in a Capitol Hill hearing room because, as he says,"I can’t get up anymore.
Honestly, I look back on things I shot 5 to 7 years ago and I roll my eyes. I can't believe I was paid to do that. I was a terrible photographer.I've had a number of 'happy accidents' as I call them. Sometimes it wasn't my intention to make that particular image. I was experimenting to do something else, but low and behold, I figured out something that was new and different for me. Part of that growth is having a natural curiosity of photography.
NASA photographer Bill Ingalls hangs out of the door of a helicopter to get a shot of returning spacecraft.I was home the morning of the loss of Columbia on February 1, 2003. I received a phone call and a request to get into headquarters immediately."We've lost Columbia," the caller said. I was able to get from house to headquarters in ten minutes. I got there and went into the war room and started to hear what happened. Former astronaut, Fred Gregory, was there.
