STS-38 Mission Specialist Robert C. Springer dons extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) upper torso with technicians' assistance in JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. Springer is preparing for an underwater extravehicular activity (EVA) simulation in the neutral buoyancy tank. Springer and his fellow astronauts would launch aboard Atlantis on November 15, 1990. This photo demonstrates the two-part suit consisting of an upper and lower half that is worn during shuttle EVAs. The entire suit, including parts not pictured here, weighs 275 pounds, so it is necessary to have help while putting it on in Earth's gravity.

“APOLLO 11 TRAINING -- Suited Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, wearing an Extravehicular Mobility Unit, participates in lunar surface simulation training on April 18, 1969 in building 9, Manned Spacecraft Center. Armstrong is prime crew commander of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. Here, he is opening a sample return container. In the right is the Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA) and the Lunar Module mockup.”
Apparently, the photograph was “pg. 10-3” of an unidentified (I assume NASA) document.
While not performing the same task, the photo depicts Armstrong at the same location - that being the MESA, also with an ALSRC present – in the historic, “only”, coveted, etc., etc. photograph of him on the lunar surface.
Interestingly, at the following, excellent - I think - document, Armstrong is identified as ‘closing’ the ALSRC:

Speaking of ALSRCs. Oh my. Exhaustive discussion, to put it mildly & supremely informative:

for most philippine low income families the most popular and practical mode of transportation is the motorcycle, commonly called 'underbones'. although illegal, it is not uncommon to see the whole family riding the 'underbone'. you will normally see them weaving through traffic unfazed by the risks. what caught my attention with this image is the child, without helmet, standing precariously between the passenger and driver , whew!
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. In or around December 1993.

After a long time I submitted an entry to a photo competition. It's an entry to the ‘The European Story’ Photo Competition and this is a shameless message asking you to check it out. Arigato

The last five months (May-September 2023) required me to move a lot for a variety of professional and personal reasons. It was the first time in several years that I entered airplanes without carrying my DSLR camera. This resulted in me tinkering and thinking with my mobile phone camera, surpassing my snobbish attitude towards it as means of photographic expression. Visiting an old favourite antique store of mine, I was exposed to wallet-sized black and white pictures, very fashionable in the 1920s-1960s. Phenomenologically, I thought, these little pictures carried significance similar to the one carried by the myriads of photos nowadays stored on mobile phones. I tried to combine the sensory experience of black and white with the ease of mobile phone shooting, itself resembling certain types of pinhole cameras. Themes are the same as in my earlier photography: decayed and rusty patterns of disintegration, emptiness of spaces, outlier figures of the everyday, street signs and letters, nonhuman friends, naturecultures, and psychopolitically haunted scenes. Places include: Canada (Toronto), Greece (Athens, Thessaloniki, Alonnisos, Aghia, Larissa, Eleftheroupoli, Kavala), Scotland (Edinburgh), England (Manchester), France (Paris), Belgium (Brussels).
[Update] I have continued collecting such images throughout 2024. New places visited: Dublin, Rotterdam, Glasgow, Copenhagen, London, Stirling, Peebles, Amsterdam, Dundee, Madrid.
London Buses Mobility Bus which is really a Leyland National converted to accomodate wheelchairs waits on the stand whilst a Network SouthEast class 33 diesel locomotive rumbles overhead on a suburban passenger service. With these being the days before true 'Low Floor' vehicles, old 'Peg leg Pete' has still got a couple of steps to climb before he takes his seat.
