A vetical black-and-white photograph depicts a young, light-skinned man standing on the porch of a building behind a decoratively carved wooden railing. He wears a plaid flannel shirt, a zip-front jacket, canvas trousers, and a fedora hat; one hand is in his pocket while the other holds a sack lunch. Graffiti on the building below him reads, "BILLY".
