Hey folks!

First pic: A black and white photo of, one the left, a young Black man, with narrow eyes, slightly pursed lips, and a widow's peak. On the right, two pasty white guys with short hair. Behind the picture are a mass of grey shapes that suggest letters made out of horshoes, but aren't letters or horseshoes. Second pic: A still from the movie ALTERED STATES. It shows the black blurry silhouettes of several people being crucified, superimposed over what looks like bubbling bursting orange and yellow lava.
