Pete Conrad took this photograph near Sharp Crater.
Alan Bean holds a container of lunar soil in his right hand. His Hasselblad camera is mounted on the control unit on his chest. Conrad is fully reflected in sharp detail in Alan Bean’s visor.
This celebrated picture has also been described as the first self-portrait on the Moon (https:// apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap060121.html).
“I can remember running along and looking up at the Earth,” noted Bean. “That’s when it would really hit me that we were on the Moon. And I would say, This is the Moon; that’s the Earth. I’m really here. And then I would say, I’ve got to quit doing this... because when I’m doing this, I’m not looking for rocks” (Chaikin, Voices, p. 99).
