Astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr., Apollo 14 Commander, shades his eyes from the sun during the Apollo 14 Extravehicular Activity (EVA) on the moon. This photograph was taken by Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, Lunar Module Pilot, through the window of the Lunar Module.

 

And/or, much better, per the ALSJ:

 

Alan Shepard, Apollo 14 Commander, shades his eyes from the sun during the first Extravehicular Activity on the moon, 5 February 1971. Ed Mitchell took this photo of Al out the right-hand, LMP window. Al is shading his eyes, probably looking up toward Cone Crater. Note the red stripe on the top of Al's helmet. This and similar stripes on his arms and legs help distinguish him from Ed, who has no stripes. This photo provides good views of Al's cuff checklist, his Omega Speedmaster watch, and the strap-on pocket on his left thigh.
