a11_r_bw_o_TPMBK (NSSDC photo, APOLLO HASSELBLAD, 11-5877, AS11-40-5877 eq)

            ALSJ paraphrased:

Buzz photographed his footprint on a pristine surface for subsequent study by soil mechanics experts. In order to do so, he took the camera off the RCU bracket and took this and a series of boot print pictures holding the camera in his hands. Additionally, Buzz was in the field-of-view of the 16mm movie camera mounted in his LM window.

I've never seen a National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) photographic print from an Apollo mission, and only a few for unmanned missions. Still striking & historic, although the photo has not been handled commensurately with its historic & visually iconic significance.
