"The boot print on this talcum-like surface was not like sand or plain old dust. It would fall away and it made a very distinct print. It fascinated me and I wanted to take a good picture of this, it ought to be a before and after. So I picked out a nice smooth spot, took a picture before, put my foot down and this turned out to be quite a representative picture of the human print on the moon." (Edwin Buzz Aldrin)
彩色相片,1970年代印制于光面纸上,30.4 x 40.6 cm,状况非常好。背面手写注释“美国宇航 Apollo 11”和“1969年7月”。“这种滑石粉般的表面上的脚印不像沙子或普通的灰尘。它会脱落,并留下一个非常清晰的印记。这让我很着迷,我想拍一张好的照片,这应该是一个前后对比。所以我挑选了一个光滑的地方,先拍了一张照片,然后把脚放下,这张照片最终成了人类在月球上留下的一个非常有代表性的脚印。”(埃德温·巴兹·奥尔德林)
