Hey folks!

First pic: A blurry black and white photo of Lyle Lovett, a white man with a long face and big floofy dark hair that dips over towards the front of his face. He's wearing a big white suit and dark tie that makes him look like a bandleader from the 20s or something. He looks to the right at something out of frame.  Second pic: Two young Black men, dressed in identical loose-fitting grey clothing, white sneakers and white kangol hats, each sit on the hood of a car. They look at the camera. The cars are parked facing each other at an angle. Beyond them is the ocean.
