"From the NASA picture titled Earth Rise."

That photo was taken from a spacecraft, not from the lunar surface. Not sure how you would judge the apparent size of the earth viewed from the surface using a photo like that.

"I seem to recall one where the Earth is rising over the Flag they raised on the moon, how did they do that one?"

The only photo I can find fitting that description is this one:

Seems like it is taken from below looking up.

"So no cameras on the moon then? Convenient."

No, we have taken cameras to the moon.

Just don't use them to take pictures of earth then. Strange that.
