A beautiful picture worth bringing back to life. I posted this one long ago on tumblr but acquired it since, so this is the newly scanned and restored version with the original below.

Here’s an amusing thought: to me Joe looks not like a young Marlon Brando, but like a young version of the Godfather played by Marlon.
