A black and white head shot of Marsha P. Johnson smiling with her arms behind her head. She is wearing a flower headpiece. The photograph was sent to Randy Wicker by the photographer. On the back: "I often take pictures of people whom I will never know or see again. Walking by your store [Uplift Lighting] I noticed you knew someone I'd photographed. I hope his personality was as bright and sparkling as the light I saw in his eyes. This was taken at Wigstock 91!"
