Fifty States of Turbulence

A square lack and white photo. A figure sits in a chair in a wooden chair in the upper left corner. Head and shoulders are out of the frame. They are dressed up in nice shirt and pants with fancy black shoes. Their legs are crossed. Their left hand is reaching toward a small electrical device on an octagonal wooden moroccan table. Their index finger is about to press on a button on the device. There is a shadow of their hand with the finger pointing down on the wall behind them.
