Description
A color photograph of Luther "Luke" Campbell.
He is wearing a white shirt and a multicolored vest. He has a goatee and is wearing sunglasses. He is smiling wide with his mouth open. There is a woman standing in front of him. She is wearing a pink crop top with long, sheer sleeves and pink short shorts. She is blurred in motion and the image cuts off right below her shoulders.
There is a white border around the image. It is thinner on the top and bottom and thicker on the two sides. The back of the photograph has light grey text repeated diagonal lines facing the left side of the paper. There are three (3) yellow post-it notes on the top. There is a tear on the top right side from where a piece of tape used to be. There is an inscription by Bill Adler written vertically down the left side in blue ink and partially covered by one of the post-it notes.
