NASA astronaut Don Pettit faces the camera wearing a gray short-sleeve shirt, with a camera floating on his right side and a large lens the size of a water pitcher floating on his left. His arms are crossed, and the walls of the space station are visible in the background, along with various equipment and wires. He grabs the camera on his right side, untwists its lens, and lets it float, then grabs the lens on his left side and installs it on the camera.
