A black and white photograph of DMC.
He is wearing a black turtleneck sweater, a black leather jacket, a black brimmed hat, and glasses. He also has a chain necklace with a shoe pendant and several rings on both of his hands. He has a goatee. He hands are out to the side in a questioning gesture. There is a brick wall in the background.
There is a thin black border around the image with a white border around it. The white border is thinner on the top and bottom and thicker on the two sides. It is signed in black ink on the proper bottom left side under the image. The back of the photograph is white. There are tears at the top and on the sides from where tape used to be and there is also a piece of tape on the top left side. There are dirt smudges in several areas and there is a small number "34" handwritten upside down in black ink in the top left corner. There are two inscriptions by Bill Adler on the back.
