| Comment | Pete Conrad with the reflection of the LM in his visor, EVA 1, 14-24 November 1969 Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, numbered "NASA AS12-47-6913" in red in top margin, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 25,4 x 20,3 cm Pete Conrad is using a lanyard to pull the first of the scientific experiment packages out of the LM Bay on a rail. His Hasselblad camera is mounted on the remote control unit of his chest. The antenna of his portable life support system (PLSS) behind his head, his cuff checklist and the pocket mounted on his left thigh to hold the contingency sample are clearly visible. “I wish I could go back to the Moon, step out, everybody would go do whatever they had to do, and I could look, and talk about it, you know, record it. Look up-Sun. Look for those things as an artist would.” Alan Bean (Chaikin, Voices, p.178) From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken: 116:33:36 Bean: (Wanting to take a picture) Look at me, Pete. (Pause) It’s a good shot, babe. The LM and everything’s reflecting in your visor. Literature: The View from Space: American Astronaut Photography 1962-1972, Schick and Van Haaften, p.45. |
