label: Description
content: Method Man is pictured in the center of the image, sitting on a white wrought iron bench next to the stoop of a brownstone. He wears a black stocking cap under a black hoodie with a black leather jacket, black pants, and black shoes. He holds a guitar on his lap, his proper right hand holds a pick against the strings and his proper right hand holds the neck. His body faces the camera, but his face is turned to the right, towards the neck of the guitar. The guitar has no sound hole and the bottom half appears to be covered in tan duct tape. There is a white and blue sticker near bottom center that reads [ego trip]. The wall to the left of Method Man and behind the bench is covered in ivy. There are two iron railings on the brownstone steps behind him and a man is in the background, walking past the steps. The photographer's signature is in silver at the bottom left [Ricky Powell].
