Buzz (left) takes a handheld documentation photo while Neil appears to be using the tongs to collect a sample. He may be leaning on the scoop for support or may intend to put the sample in it. This photo clearly shows the lanyard attached to the camera handle that Buzz has around his neck. It also shows that he has a snap hook attached to the weigh bag and hooked onto the opening of his right, front pocket. 24 February 1969.
