Description:
A black and white photograph of producer Mannie Fresh in his car.
The image is a close up of Fresh sitting in the driver's seat of a light-colored, two door classic muscle car. The car is only visible from the driver's seat to the rear wheel and from the ground to just above Fresh's head. The roof of the car is out of frame. Fresh wears a striped shirt and is looking out the driver's side window, which is rolled down. There is a sticker for [Fresh Rydes] on the rear window. The car has silver metal edging the top of the body and ridged metal paneling at the base of the frame. A reflection of clouds and trees is visible in the back window, back frame, and rear rim. On the verso, a handwritten inscription by Bill Adler identifies the subject and photographer.
