It's been photoshopped. There are also worthless Jack White claims, shown wrong almost a decade ago.
Actually, that comes from the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal under the "Fun Stuff" section that includes a lot of artwork and photoshops. This is the caption:The Real Secret of Apollo 12David Harland (tongue firmly in cheek) has released a previously unknown Apollo 12 picture of Al Bean. The picture was taken by Pete Conrad, whose reflection is clearly visible in the center of Al's faceplate. Note, however, the reflection of a third astronaut, presumably Command Module Pilot Dick Gordon. What is amazing about this picture is the apparent fact that the Apollo 12 crew was able to keep secret Gordon's presence on the lunar surface for so long a time. The picture is similar to AS12-49-7278. The thing is, Harland's image was not generally distributed. The Hoax-tard copied it from ALSJ and left-off the caption that clearly shows the image is 'shopped (and who did it) and that it is a joke. This blatant dishonesty is typical of Hoax proponents and reminds me of studies done a while back linking conspiracy belief to the projection of one's own morality (or lack thereof). Link
While doing a bit of research today, I ran onto this piece of junk.

As part of his penance, for several years he managed the server that hosts clavius.org.
It is good to hear about someone that saw the light.

It was a teenage prank that unfortunately some people still take seriously. Years later, when I finally met and worked with him, he was (and still is) a sincere fan of space exploration. He had Apollo photo prints in his office.
And where are those dang billions and billions of stars we see in space from Earth at night?The Moon is so reflective that it lights up or Earth at night so bright we can see easily during a full moon, yet Moon’s surface is a dull, dusty least reflecting color, gray.

If only they realised that is what they have done here...
Reminds me of the video clip of "Armstrong" jumping off the LM ladder and getting hit by a falling light fixture.
