Photographer's Narrative

 

I walked into the painting room of the 403rd Maintenance Squadron fabrication shop and a sheet metal technician was spraying an oil pan. His space-like suit stood out in the room and the bright yellow paint left a nice trail in the air. As he was spraying on coats of paint on the oil pan, I took my photo.
