A color photograph of Luis Rivera and his sister Jessica. The two are pictured from the shoulders up, in front of a tan colored cement brick wall. Luis is standing on the right and is looking towards camera. His shoulder-length hair is styled in small braids, and he wears a white t-shirt. His proper right arm is around his sister's shoulders and he is wearing a rubber band on his right wrist. Jessica is looking towards the camera with a faint smile. Her hair is pulled back in a ponytail, with a zig-zag part in the front center. She wears a gold chain necklace and a black, short sleeve zip-up jacket. There is a pattern of light and dark shadows on the wall behind them. On the verso is an inscription by Bill Adler reading [Luis Rivera, Jessica Rivera, e. orange, nj, 2004. By Hyze (Akinto' / Hanif].
