label: Description
content: The image is a close-up of Wall's face and his proper left hand making a "W" gesture. Wall wears a black t-shirt with the text [SCREWED UP RECORDS & TAPES] and a dark colored baseball cap with a star logo. He is looking directly at the camera, his teeth bared to show off diamond "grillz." He has a diamond stud in his proper left ear; his proper right eye is in shadow from his hat brim. Fliers and posters are visible in the dark background behind him. On the verso, a handwritten inscription by Bill Adler identifies the subject, location, date and photographer.
