Pete Conrad (Apollo 12)
Alan Bean setting his left foot on the Ocean of Storms, EVA 1, 14-24 November 1969
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, (NASA image AS12-46-6729), printed 1969, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 25,4 x 20,3 cm, minor traces of usage
Taking his first footstep on the Moon, Bean turned to his left and faced Conrad for a formal portrait, keeping his right hand on the ladder. This staged photograph is the only one of a human taking his first step on another world.
From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken:
115:51:59 Conrad: ...turn around and give me a big smile. That a boy.
115:52:01 Bean: Okay.
115:52:02 Conrad: You look great. Welcome aboard.
