The astronaut photographed his own footprint to permit later study of the lunar surface bearing strength. The thin, crusty appearance of the surface was similar to that discovered during the Surveyor soil mechanics experiments. (NASA AS11-40-5877)

This photo was used again in Figure 3-12 in the Apollo 11 Preliminary Science Report, which has the following caption:
