DescriptionA black and white photograph of a man in a rocky desert, his hand is outstretched and a puff of white smoke is emerging from behind it. The man is crouched down in the center-right foreground. He wears dark denim pants, a jean jacket, a black cap, and dark sunglasses. Black tubing partially encircles him, but its purpose is unknown. In the left background is a light-colored 1970s SUV with the back hatch opened. At bottom, a handwritten note reads "Social Reformer Making a Mistake. Near Virginia City, Nevada."
