Hey folks!

First pic: Six young Black men shot from the ground looking up, so they appear to be standing over you. They are arranged in a circle. One of them is pointing a gun at the camera. They all look a little disappointed, like you fucked up and now they have to kill you. Also, please note there is no period after "A" in N.W.A  Second pic: A blue-tinted black and white photograph of Robyn Hitchcock stepping out of a telephone booth. The only source of light is from the booth, everything around is dark. There is a bit of a haunted vibe.
