- Description
- The image, taken in Central Park, features KRS-One in the center wearing a light-colored New York Mets pinstripe jersey and shorts. Visible from the knees up, he is jumping in the air with his proper left arm outstretched above his head, palming facing out. He wears a black baseball cap with white lettering that is partially obscured because his face is tilted up. A tall black pole with draped white fabric is visible in the center directly behind him, with trees and the sky in the background. To the bottom right of the image, a photographer in a light-colored shirt with raised camera is partially visible. The verso has several inscriptions by Bill Adler that identify the subject, photographer, date, and location.
