Description
A black and white photograph of Audio Two, Gizmo and Milk Dee.
The two are pictured at the center of Grand Army Plaza leaning against the side of the Sailors' and Soldiers' Arch. Milk Dee is on the left, wearing a striped shirt and a Chicago Bulls hat. He is leaning forward slightly to look at the camera and has his proper right hand held out in front of him, palm up. Gizmo is next to him on the right side of the image. He wears a dark, long-sleeve t-shirt with a dark colored baseball cap, eyeglasses and a large gold chain necklace. He is leaning back with his head turned to look at the camera and his hands held together in his lap. The street and a few buildings across from the plaza are out of focus in the background. On the verso is an inscription by Bill Adler reading [Audio Two by Al / Pereira Grand Army Plaza, Brklyn, 5-3-90].
