Happy birthday Jim! The Gemini-7 prime and backup crews pose for a gag-portrait in July 1965. Left to right are Ed White, backup command pilot; Frank Borman, prime command pilot; Jim Lovell, prime pilot; and Mike Collins, backup pilot.

I've never seen that one before...great image. Borman looks hilarious.

Ed White's hat looks like the same "hat" that Neil Armstrong wore in the Gemini 8 gag photo. I wonder if they took these photos at the same time.

I almost expect to hear the Village People's Y-M-C-A coming through the speakers.

It looks like a "snoot"--a metal sleeve that goes over a photo light to concentrate the beam into a spot.
