I still remember it to this day, I was the one who took the photo.
NOTE: I took this photo with my Xiaomi.
I was sixteen that day. Later I grew up, became a writer, and was able to interview Bill Anders for a story on the Heritage Flight, which both he and Borman flew in.
At the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in DC there is a great exhibit where they recreate the scramble to take this photo using the recorded conversations between the astronauts as they move from window to window and have to switch cameras or film, and capturing the other frames of the picture. It was one of my favorite parts of an excellent lunar landing section of the museum.
