A rare picture taken by Ed White during his Gemini-4 spacewalk on June 3, 1965. White carried a Zeiss Ikon Contarex Special 35mm single lens reflex camera and exposed about a dozen frames during the EVA. This is the second frame and one of the better ones. It shows a closeup of the nose of Gemini-4 and command pilot Jim McDivitt's window.

You know sometimes when you are trigger happy with the camera and you get a thumb in the way or a shot of someones feet...astronauts do it too,
