Yuri Gagarin, the hobbyist photographer, at home with his wife.
Yuri Gagarin being identified only as an amateur photographer and not literally the first human in space has me on the floor
This is a good reminder that there is a lot of texture and complexity to people; every human contains lots of aspects that would be completely unrelated if not for the fact that the same person experiences them. It’s easy to forget this, and compress the people you meet into a caricature; even celebrities usually end up being famous for one thing alone. But even something as glorious as the first space travel by a living human does not fully encompass a life.
This, too, is Yuri.
