DescriptionA black and white photograph of a man lounging in his backyard with the debris of a recent explosion still lingering in front of him. The man is facing the camera in a brimmed hat and glasses. He is wearing shorts and holding an issue of Life magazine with a woman on the cover. His other hand has one finger resting gently on the trigger of a detonator. He is relaxing on a fold-out lawn chair with a table holding a radio and a Miller Lite can near his head. A shovel and wheelbarrow occupy the left side of the photograph, and a house and neighborhood trees are visible in the background.
