Description
A black and white photograph of Audio Two, Milk Dee and D.J. Gizmo, at a Häagen-Dazs ice cream shop.
The two are pictured standing in front of a neon sign, Milk Dee on the right holding an ice cream cone and Gizmo on the left. Dee is in profile, his body facing Gizmo and his face turned looking at the camera and smiling. He holds a single scoop ice cream cone in front of him in his proper right hand. Gizmo also looks directly at the camera, his back to the neon sign. He wears a fur-trimmed leather jacket and holds his proper left hand in a fist next to his chin. The sign behind them is partially visible and appears to read "OPEN" and "ICE CREAM." Another sign in the background has [Häagen-Dazs] repeating in three rows of light colored text against a dark background. An adhesive label with an Eyejammie.com logo reads [Title: Audio Two at Haagen-Dazs / Photographer: Harry Allen] in printed black text.
