Coney Island
1973

A black and white photograph of a person with an afro hairstyle wearing a distressed, sleeveless shirt with various inscriptions and logos, including a large circular logo with the word "IMMORTALS." The individual is looking directly at the camera with a serious expression, and there appears to be a nighttime outdoor setting in the background with faintly visible lights and a balloon.
