James McDivitt (Gemini IV)
First US space walk: Ed White taking the first photographs from outer space, 3-7 June 1965
Vintage chromogenic printed 1965, on fiber-based paper, printed numbered "NASA S-65-30432" in red in top margin, with NASA caption (MSC) and "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm
Photographed with a NASA-modified Hasselblad 500C by McDivitt from inside the spacecraft, Ed white was himself taking a picture of the Gemini capsule with a Zeiss Contarex 35mm camera.
From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken (at T+004:44:41 from launch):
004:44:02 White: I’m trying to get some pictures. I’m right above my hatch now.
004:44 08: McDivitt: Okay.
004:44:15 Capcom (Mission Control):Gemini 4, Houston.
004:44:16 White: Yes, sir. If I had about another couple of bottles (for the self-maneuvering unit), Jim .....
004:44:20 McDivitt: That would really be it, huh?
004:44:22 White: Yes. I’m still not satisfied with the pictures I’m getting. I’ve only gotten about three or four.
004:44:24 Capcom: Gemini 4, Houston.
004:44:33 McDivitt: Is that right? I’ve taken a lot but, they’re not very good. You’re in too close.
004:44:40 White: Okay.
004:44:41 McDivitt: I finally put the focus down to about 8 feet or so. Oh yes, that’s great, the clouds on water behind you.
