Official color glossy 10 x 8 red-numbered NASA photo (S-70-55387) of the Apollo 14 crew posing in their white space suits against a starry backdrop with their mission insignia, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, "To Terry Slezak, Al Shepard,” “Stu A. Roosa,” and “Edgar Mitchell.” The reverse bears purple NASA caption text and “A Kodak Paper” watermarks. In fine condition.
NASA photographer Terry Slezak, as a member of the decontamination team at the Manned Space Center's lunar receiving lab, was the first man to touch moon dust with his bare hands. One of Slezak's jobs for NASA was to take the cameras from the astronauts after their flights, unload them, and clean them. As he went through the Apollo 11 film magazines, he suddenly found his hands covered in moon dust upon opening Magazine S. Unbeknownst to him, the camera had been dropped on the surface of the moon. Because of this, Slezak was immediately placed in the same quarantine trailer with the Apollo 11 astronauts.
